Torture is wrong, like murder, like rape.
There should not be any further discussion of this, and yet right-wing nutcases like Limbaush, Hannity, Coulter, and Savage still get paid for their insane opinion that torture is okay.
The people that pay them, listen to them, or support them should be ashamed. I know that I am already ashamed for them.
The Wronged Man
Unjustly Imprisoned and Mistreated, Khaled al-Masri Wants Answers the U.S. Government Doesn't Want to Give
Khaled al-Masri was supposed to have been disappeared by black-hooded CIA paramilitaries in the dead of night. One minute he was riding a bus in Macedonia, the next -- poof -- gone. Grabbed by Macedonian agents, handed off to junior CIA operatives in Skopje and then secretly flown to a prison in Afghanistan that didn't officially exist, to be interrogated with rough measures that weren't officially on the books...
Current and former CIA officials say Masri was believed to have a fake passport and the same name as someone else they were looking for...
He spent five months in a filthy secret prison set up by the CIA and guarded by Afghans. He was made to drink water so putrid it made him vomit. He slept on a single blanket, shivered through the cold months and was fed chicken bones and skin. He was beaten and interrogated many times, sometimes by people he believes to be Americans. He went on a hunger strike, lost 60 pounds.
Eventually the CIA caught up with its mistake.
