A March 16th article in the Washington Post details allegations contained in a Red Cross report of Torture at CIA jails which are, in my opinion, a national embarrassment. The report outlines what is described as “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment” or terrorist detainees and includes accounts of “physical and psychological brutality”.
Upon reading that far into the article, I was understandably curious. I am, of course, gravely concerned with our prestige and image as a nation. If our standing in the international community concerns you as much as it does me, you are not going to like what I’m about to tell you.
According to this Red Cross report, it seems the “torture” experienced by these maggots amounts to little more than “sleep deprivation”… “loud noise”… “extreme temperatures”... and “beatings”.
Oh…and I guess they were waterboarded too.
Fellow Americans…this disgusts me. How much longer are we going to let this continue? I am sick and tired of story after story promising horrific, detailed accounts of prisoner torture only to have my hopes dashed by another lame

The leftwing loonies are really into “torture.” Obviously, they don’t have teenagers. Teenagers do this to themselves 24/7 365.

They don’t need to be true or factual. You don’t need locations or video or testimony, the very most that is required is the occasional Arab guy going on Al Arabia TV claiming he was a Gitmo prisoner.
The Left so badly wants to believe, it just doesn’t matter.
uh...let’s see here...sleep deprivation, extreme cold,excessive loud noise 24/7...having aggravating things done to you at all hours(?).....so far, this describes my two weeks at church camp with 150 teenagers!!...And where was the international outcry for me?...But who knows,it may be over soon..Obama might have another giant leap- for -mankind- move and release all the detainees at once. And I know I for one, would NEVER think that any of them will turn out like Ali Al-Shihri,Yemens new Al Qaeda #2 man,still sporting his Guantanamo Bay visitors card no doubt. Now that worked out real good didn’t it!
If you want to know real torture think about Bill Clinton he’s stuck with you-know-who.
