Does this give us precedent to take Alberto Gonzales into a back room and beat the shit out of him until he tells us what we want to hear? Beat Larry Craig until he admits his homo tendencies, unless he is into S&M, in which case, we withhold it.

Why doesn't the Senate make torture part of the confirmation hearing? We're supposed to be an open society, so right there in front of the cameras and God, inflict pain and abuse on nominees until they come forth with the information we knew was in them to begin with.

In the Senate Chambers, during Confirmation hearings, far worse torture is conducted by Seanators in grilling conservative Supreme Court Nominees than anything the CIA has done to Terrorists during the Bush Administration!

well, you know how torture works. the torturees, eg Gonzo, etc. WILL SAY ANYTHING to get it to stop.

leave it to BushCo to be so g-d stupid to use tactics that guarantee the info secured would be FALSE...instead of being scientific and use techniques that would actually work. stupid, stupid.

With Rush Limbaugh and the Bush admin working for Al-Queda the only ones getting tortured are real Americans!

scientific?,name one.
