Well, if it's not obvious to anyone -

This is torture in its simplest form - the infliction of pain/discomfort/fear for no reason other than to inflict the pain, the discomfort, or the fear.

Haven't seen a blip of it on the national media.

Mirrors are so unnecessary to true sociopathic narcissists.

CIA reconfirms 2005 statement that waterboarding produced intel that thwarted terror attack on LA

waterboarding for LA

Of coure, the CIA could just be trying to do a CYA now that Obama has released four of their secret files.

I think that law professor said it best.

Sometimes torture is necessary, and when it is someone has to be accountable.

Ironically, it is those who wish to ban torture that are responsible for this. If people realised that torture is absolutely necessary sometimes then it wouldnt have to be secret - which means that it could be controlled. If its illegal anyway, then there is no reason to have anyone control it --> innocent people get tortured.

What do you do?

Why does Obama think the lawyers who offered a legal opinion that waterboarding is not torture could be prosecuted but not the government officials in the CIA who ordered torture, the Bush administration officials who approved torture, the members of the Senate and House intelligence committees who have oversight over the CIA etc. and who also approved torture, and the actual torturers themselves.

Once Obama released the four "torture" memos, he opened Pandora's box on this issue.

Shmu
The country will regard saving LA as a necessity, sorry. Little different from other administrations during war. This talk of an investigation is clearly all fluff and bluff, it assumes the American population has NO short term memory
"The Senate Intelligence Committee, .., is chaired by Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller, who has been complicit in the CIA torture program since it was launched. Rockefeller was one of six legislators who were briefed on the torture program in 2002-2003, when waterboarding was being practiced. Democrat Nancy Pelosi, the current House speaker, was also included in the briefing."

Are we assuming the Democratic Senate will investigate and prosecute the entire Sentate Intelligence Committee?
I can hear the CIA agent saying "we told Pelosi about it and she said "go for it"" on national TV. ROTF LMAO
