      In most civilized countries I had thought that torturing people to death was considered to be a crime.
      They really are taking American exceptionalism to new heights of absurdity.

      Somehow they figure shurb's strategy will some how cause their levels of fear to be reduced enough so that they might sleep easily on top of their beds vs under them.

      Does this mean that CNN will have a headline soon that reads "US executes German and Japanese for using Harsh Interrogation" on US soldiers?"

      For all the complaining these guys has done over the years about the creation and use of politicaly correct euphamisms, HOW on earth can they even say "enhanced interrogation techniques" and keep a strait face? A NINE SYLLABLE word for TORTURE? That's so transparently something they just MADE UP becuase they didn't like the two-syllable word. It's SCREAMS of PC euphamism! CALL IT WHAT IT IS!!! The spanish inquisition did not 'employ the use of enhanced interrogation techniques' they TORTURED PEOPLE!!! These same morons who want everyone in teh world to learn to speak english insist on rendering every word in the laguage MEANINGLESS!!!
