Former HW Bush justice employee Rifkin defending tourture
heard him say that when prisoners are subject to certain tortures sleep deprivation, cold temperatures etc., their interrogators are going through the same stress. Says prisoners are trained to lie about torture when they are released. He didn't like caller saying the Admin is using Gestapo tactics.

2. I wish someone would
point out to these pigs, that torture is ILLEGAL!

If they are so happy to torture people why don't they introduce legislation making it legal?

Actually, according to US law (Not the conventions, which is a whole other story) any US citizen committing torture can be punished with up top 20 years of jail time.
