I don't care what we do to terrorists to make them talk . It's a dirty business but it needs to be done, in case we've forgotten, these people want to kill us. All of us, including our families, women,children, and even our infidel pets. I don't give a damn what happens to these clowns when they get caught. Good job CIA, need help ?

[...] Spencer Ackerman: Report: CIA Deputy Director Helped Cover Up Detainee Death Ackerman: "That’s a shocking account about Steve Kappes, then the powerful associate deputy CIA director for operations…. Jeff Stein in a new… profile of the… deputy director: 'According to an internal investigation, [Kappes] helped tailor the agency’s paper trail regarding the death of a detainee at a secret CIA interrogation facility in Afghanistan, known internally as the Salt Pit. The detainee froze to death after being doused with water, stripped naked, and left alone overnight, according to reports in the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times. He was secretly buried and his death kept “off-the-books,” the Post said.

PNUT1 is right, we should torture people and commit horrible human rights crimes against people who may or may not be terrorists, and glean useless information from them because after all, they're bad people, so who cares what happens to them, right? Just as long as I'm safe, I don't care what kind of atrocities are committed in my name.
I mean come on, just because Reagan made it illegal to torture people doesn't mean we actually have to follow the rules, or that torture has been proven by the Army to be useless. That's what American Exceptionalism is all about!
