President Barack Obama was today accused of a major U-turn after he decided to keep the controversial military commissions set up by George Bush to prosecute terror suspects.
The surprise White House announcement reversed Mr Obamas campaign pledge to rely on Americas conventional criminal court system.
It was the presidents second U-turn this week after he changed his mind and pledged to try and block the court-ordered release of damning photographs showing US soldiers abusing prisoners. Last nights move led to an outcry from shocked human rights campaigners who thought Mr Obama intended to dismantle the terror tribunals after calling them an enormous failure during last years presidential campaign.

I read that one torture was putting PLAYBOY magazine, open to a photo of a lovely, on the lap of a victim. “May Allah help me in the afterlife to find 71 more like this one” he was heard to scream in his agony.

Moose are considered sacred in Islam, mainly because of their habit of donating their horns to western taverns.
Just wait till you see the prisoners in Afganistan perform the “Thriller” routine. That’ll get the ACLU screaming ‘Torture’!
The torture is the floral sheets.
Even my daughter wouldn’t have those.
And actually, I caught both the girls hanging off the bed like that last week. Laughing like there was no tomorrow. I joined them. It was fun!
Hold mah beer and watch this!!
Mine it the way people exchange then and than. Drives me nuts.
that’s the abuse photo? It looks like a man in a shabby apartment practicing yoga (or an illustration from one of the less popular editions of Joy of Sex....)
(cute kid!)
Monkey chungs everyone!!!!
It was the December 2001 issue with Shanna Moaker as the POTM.
The photo is vague. Any that are released should be scrutinized carefully ....this one is questionable, IMO.
Mine is the way people exchange "it" and "is"...drives me nuts.
(sorry, I couldn't resist!)
that is also the most confortable looking cell I have ever seen.
