re: #13 Killgore Trout

I do understand you. However the CIA interogators appointed political hacks decided that enhanced interrogation was necessary for KSM and requested it. You’ll have to take your objection up with them.

Military necessity does not admit of cruelty—that is, the infliction of suffering for the sake of suffering or for revenge, nor of maiming or wounding except in fight, nor of torture to extort confessions.

I don’t give a rats ass who asked for torture to become part of the interrogation procedure, whether it was from the top (which has been documented) or from the interrogators in the room.

Torture is a goddamn crime. No debate. No excuse.

Americans. Do. Not. Torture.
