Tortured Quote of the Day


"The committee reviewed 20 of the most frequent and prominent examples of purported 'successes' that the CIA has attributed to the use of its enhanced interrogation techniques. Each of those examples was found to be wrong." -- (emphasis added)  an excerpt from the Senate Select Committee on Intellegence report on the Bush/Cheney detention and interrogation program, which involved "enhanced interrogation techniques" -- torture under such codes as the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the Geneva Conventions.  Such were the lies peddled by Dumbya and The Dick to shield themselves from domestic critics.  Their torture program didn't keep us safe, and likely inspired a new generation of terrorists to wage war against us.

UPDATE:  Kudos to the senior Senator from Arizona -- a frequent target of ours -- for standing up and defending the release of the report.
