Lies and Torture, Then More Torture

McClatchy:

A former U.S. Army psychiatrist, Maj. Charles Burney, told Army investigators in 2006 that interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility were under “pressure” to produce evidence of ties between al Qaida and Iraq.

So the Bushies tortured prisoners in order to justify a war where they engaged in more torture.

    you don’t get it bob. that torture kept us safe from that thing that didn’t exist… what is with you?

    Let’s not forget, one of the reasons Bush gave for going to war was that Saddam tortured people.So we had to torture people to justify a war where we tortured people so we could get somebody else to stop torturing people.

    Wish I could say this surprised me, but I thought all along they were doing everything they could to generate “reasons” to do what they wanted–invade Iraq.

    Anyone else occasionally terrified at the thought of what we might have been living in had it not been for technology? BushCo managed to wrap up all the worst tendencies of humanity in a big quivering tortilla of subconscious terror, filled with rationalization and smothered in a blanket of cognitive dissonance. Unless they thought you might be One Of Them™ in which case they were far more likely to just stuff the blanket in your mouth and dump water down your face.
