i've been hearing some references from rightwing nutjobs that the cia's use of violence isn't torture because we had medical professionals supervise it. well, isn't the cia sweet. here's a clue: if you need a doctor around to make sure the suspect doesn't die from what you're doing to him, it's torture. if you need a shrink around to make sure you're not inflictng lifelong trauma on your suspect, it's torture.
and i'm tired of hearing how releasing the photos will degrade any self-control the muslims have. somehow, we all survived the release of the abu ghraib photos. so here's my last clue: if people finding out about this will lead to mass demonstrations and sporadic violence at symbols of the abusers, it's torture. please stop fucking with us all.
