How many times are the liberal newspaper columnists in this country going to keep dipping into the “torture” well? The story has been written about ad nauseam for years.
The angry columns demanding that someone be “held accountable” for the unbearably loud music detainees were subjected to or the 3 cases of waterboarding are way beyond tedious at this point. We’ve heard it all before and most people still don’t care.
Yet for some reason, The Washington Post is treating us to yet another torture screed — this time courtesy of Anne Applebaum.
I could give a sweet rat’s ass if we tortured and in fact I hope we did — and still are. None of the techniques described thus far in the thousands of columns around the country sound like torture to me. The only thing I’ve seen any evidence of is enhanced interrogation which was used very successfully against a number of difficult terrorists.
The economy is in the shitter and I’ve got bills to pay. Whether or not Akmed or Mohammad were kept up nights with underwear on their head is so far from anything I care about it’s actually funny.
I realize liberals always need to either play the victim or be an advocate for one, but your sympathy (as usual) is sorely misplaced.
If this country were really serious about fighting and winning the war on terror, Gitmo would be empty. Not because we let people go or sent them home, but because after their (vigorous) interrogations (very vigorous) they would be shot in the head.
The only issue I have with the CIA “black sites” that Anne Applebaum is so outraged about is that we know about CIA “black sites.” We should find the asshole who leaked the information about the black sites and put his ass in one of them.
