To: new cruelty

What went on in that prison wasn't torture. It wasn't smart and it wasn't well-coordinated, but it wasn't torture.

I think humiliation (though not the way these amateurs used it) is a valid interrogation technique. We are a society that doesn't want to torture people, we have a lot of very bad people in custody, people with potentially very important information that can save lives of soldiers in Iraq and citizens in America, and we need to be free to use every possible method to get that information.

There should only be two restrictions on our interrogation techniques:

1. We should not torture.
2. We should not be silly.

Those 6 (or 10) soldiers in that prison did not torture. But what they did do was silly.

If they had really wanted to torture the prisoners, they would have read them American "newsmedia" Democrat propaganda.
