If you aren’t familiar with the story of John McCain’s capture and torture by the North Vietnamese, I highly recommend this article at US News, a reprint of McCain’s first-person account originally published in 1973: John McCain, Prisoner of War: A First-Person Account - US News and World Report. I ...
At Zomblog, a photo essay on the hate fest for law professor John Yoo at UC Berkeley: Anti-John Yoo protest at Boalt Hall law school graduation. It’s a convergence of the hysterical “torture!” ninnies and the 9/11 Troofers.
Pope Benedict visited Ground Zero today to pray for the victims of the 9/11 atrocities, and the Associated Press uses it as an excuse to bring up their favorite subject: Benedict has been critical of harsh interrogation methods, telling a meeting of the Vatican’s office for social justice last ...

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour does a story on the murder of more than two million Cambodians by Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge, and compares it to the United States using waterboarding on three top Al Qaeda terrorists to get information about imminent attacks. Yes, really. Two million Cambodians killed on one side, ...

President Bush has vetoed the Democrat-sponsored bill that would ban the CIA from using “harsh interrogation techniques” on terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: Bush Announces Veto of Waterboarding Ban. Always keep in mind, when the media and the left are hyperventilating over waterboarding, that the technique has been used on ...
The Pentagon is filing charges against six of the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: US to seek death penalty in 9/11 case. As I write, the Washington press corps is relentlessly grilling the Pentagon spokesman about waterboarding and torture, asking the same questions over and over. Of ...

Andrew McCarthy makes a great point about the absurdly inflated waterboarding controversy. Let’s take a step back. Credible reporting — which is not addressed in the attorney general’s letter — indicates that waterboarding has been used on no more than three of the thousands of detainees the United States ...
It’s one of those days when potshots are being taken at me from both the extreme right and the extreme left. At Digg.com, a post with a completely ludicrous and false title has nearly 2000 diggs: Digg - Guantanamo detainees are not human beings - US judges. And the first ...
One of those crazy “human rights” lawsuits against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has been dismissed.
Another gruesome and disgusting find in Iraq, as the depths of Al Qaeda’s depravity are revealed once again: Torture chamber found in Iraq. BAGHDAD - Blood-splotches on walls, chains hanging from a ceiling and swords on the killing floor — the artifacts left a disturbing tale of brutalities inside ...
Here’s some good news about Egyptian anti-torture activist Wael Abbas, who was the subject of this LGF post when YouTube canceled his video sharing account: YouTube restores account of Egypt anti-torture blogger. (Hat tip: Catttt.)
In 2002, Nancy Pelosi was a member of a bipartisan group that was made aware of harsh interrogation techniques being used with Islamic terrorists in US custody—and the group not only approved of the tactics (including waterboarding), they asked the CIA to push harder. In September 2002, four members ...
YouTube has selectively enforced their terms of service again, closing the account of an Egyptian anti-torture activist because his videos contained some graphic content. CAIRO, Nov 27 (Reuters) - The video-sharing Web site YouTube has suspended the account of a prominent Egyptian anti-torture activist who posted videos of what ...
Former Guantanamo Bay Muslim chaplain James Yee went on Syrian television October 19, and described the horrors of Koran desecration and female nudity that he witnessed ... oh wait, he didn’t actually witness anything. But that doesn’t stop him from uncorking some amazingly lurid descriptions for Syrian TV anyway. (Courtesy ...
I have to admit, I had not heard of novelist Vince Flynn or his character Mitch Rapp before reading this interview, but he sounds like an LGF kind of lizard. Q: How can we win the war on terrorism when many cannot acknowledge who the enemy is? A: That’s ...
Pakistan’s Daily Times doesn’t carry a lot of Western news, but here’s an article they couldn’t resist: US appears guilty of torture: Pelosi. WASHINGTON: The United States appears to be illegally torturing terror suspects contrary to denials by President George W Bush, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said ...
The son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadafi has admitted they tortured the foreign medics they were holding hostage, and threatened their families: Libya ‘tortured’ Bulgarian medics. Real torture, not Andrew Sullivan-style torture. The European Union would be outraged, but they’re too busy making deals with Libya. Saif al-Islam Gaddafi told ...

Germany’s Spiegel Online has a piece on the new Gaza amusement park formerly known as Fatah’s Torture Chamber.

A building formerly occupied by Fatah’s intelligence service ...
US mainstream media ran over 6000 stories on the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, and they’re still coming up with new ones. But nine days after pictures from an Al Qaeda torture manual were released, the silence is deafening. ALEXANDRIA, VA—The U.S. Defense Department released photos last week of an ...

According to Andrew Sullivan, we’re just like the Nazis. You, me, and the United States in general. And especially Glenn Reynolds, that puppy-blending Gestapo goose-stepper. Yes, Andrew has spent another few hours of his life on yet another logic-free “torture” post: The Daily Dish: ‘Verschärfte Vernehmung’.
Here’s more evidence that US media are failing to convey information to the public that doesn’t fit their script; the sickening Al Qaeda torture manual we noted yesterday was totally ignored by every mainstream media outlet except Fox News. UPDATE at 5/25/07 3:52:22 pm: Noel at Newsbusters updates with a ...
To Andrew Sullivan and Amnesty International: please take a long look at the real meaning of the word “torture.” Torture, Al-Qaeda Style. (Warning: graphic illustrations.)
