What is their excuse for the overseas prisons
Why do they not want the prisoners in the USA? Why the sense of well being now the prisoners have been moved from secret CIA prisons to Gitmo. If I remember correctly the whole reason they established Gitmo was so they could do things not allowed in the USA. If getting the prisoners to Gitmo from Secret Prisons is a big deal then they must have been having a jolly good time with them whereever they were. I believe this is as bad as the Spanish Inquisition and also being done by supposed Christians..Does torture make their God happy? Is that what is going on?

2. Since torture is proven to be ineffective, I don't understand why
the CIA gets off on it so much. Don't we teach dictators and terrorists around the world how to torture people? I take it all the old Project Paperclip people (Nazi scientists we brought to this country to work for our gov) spawned all this in some way, and we've run with it. Sickening. The CIA should be burnt to the ground.

5. You hit the nail on the head when you said "get off on it".

Remember the rummors that Saddam had torture chambers under his bedroom so he could have heightened sexual experiences while listening to screams of the people being tortured? I believe that those at the top ... where the buck stops ... enjoy the thought of torture. Look at Bush'e execution rate in Texas. The bastard gets off on killing and torture.
Edited for spelling.

3. Gitmo is too public. Too many people know about it.
Too much of a possibility of war crimes talk. Plus those are "enemy combatents" from Afghanistan. I am assuming the secret prisons have people who could not be classified as such, have real Geneva convention rights, and quite possibly US citizens who * doesn't want to have to explain why they're there.

ya'll would let us torture closer to home. Hell, we're conservative and we hate spending money needlessly on all these remote sites when we could do it here and put it on Fox.
