If the U.S. Isn't Torturing Black Site
captives, then why are they keeping the locations secret and why are they refusing to open them to representatives of human rights groups?
The WaPo has an editorial today,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/22/AR2005112201692.html
that highlights the dangers that the use of torture against captives poses, not only on the international scene, but potentially for us here on U.S. soil.

The collateral question, of course, is--just when do * appointees get sent to Liar's School? Before or after the appointment?

1. I think it's a job requirement
I doubt you could apply for a position in the Bush WH without a PhD in Spin, Lies, and Bullshit.

3. Torturing people leads to bad information and makes
the US more hated and makes us less safe.
