I'm sure Danner chose the most sensational excerpts fromt the ICRC report, but I remain convinced that these "high value" captives were not tortured.
Treated harshly? Yes, of course. These men were involved in the planning of the murder of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocents. They were made to reveal what they knew.
But were there limbs broken or severed? No.
Were they mutilated? No.
Were their families captured, confined, and beaten? No.
About time these treasonous ‘Leftist’s’ went on trial. . .
“A trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins awakened by a late-night telephone call from the director of central intelligence and flown in great secrecy to the other side of the world. The wounded man barely escapes death”
BS article. What “trauma surgeon” can be flown halfway around the world for life saving surgery. If he didn’t die in the first 2-4 hours there was no need for any trauma surgeon.
We're supposed to feel sorry for this POS?????????
Note to self: Take no prisoners.
They can really pile it high.
Were they mutilated? No.
Were their families captured, confined, and beaten? No.
NO??
Now I'm really pissed! We need to put Bush & the CIA on trial for "dereliction of duty".
Sheesh.
The left will be doing worse to American citizens if Obama has his way.
Why else would Zero's patrol bots be patrolling the internet and taking names?
That's rich! When I workled there in '03-04, the prison was across the street from my clinic.

Bull$h!t. He would have died. You die from sleep deprivation of that length and severity. Nice story, but clearly unbelievable. He may not have slept well, but he HAD to have slept.
Most of the maltreatment I read about in the article is no worse than I've experienced on a bad flight.
(1) (a) That with reference to article 1, the United States understands that, in order to constitute torture, an act must be specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering and that mental pain or suffering refers to prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from (1) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or suffering; (2) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality; (3) the threat of imminent death; or (4) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality.Much of the criticism of the US as a torturer could be averted if people simply read the anti-torture treaty.
Is this a preview of Obama’s health care plans?
