Some of the things that don't count as cruel, inhuman or degrading

Obama's just announced the release of Bush era cia documents talking about torture:

"facial slaps, cramped confinement, stress positions and sleep deprivation.

The memo also authorises the use of "waterboarding", or simulated drowning, and the placing of a detainee into a confined space with an insect."

Placing a detainee into a confined space with an insect lol.

the CIA circumcised me

i hope this doesn't just go away, i hope some people get charged, it makes fantastic c-span coverage

just the one insect? not really frightening.

unless it was one of those huge fucking Hercules beetles or something.

Imagine if the insect had an essines beard.

yeah sound wicked safe, official documents have been released confirming the things everyone already knows had been happening. move along people, a bit of sleep deprivation here, slaps there. closure.

all the reports of coercive terror flight torture, brutal medieval proxy-torture fuckery and military personal mentalism can be cosigned to the mysterious black-opps bin of history.

yeah so? this means it's official and people can be punished for it.

Earlier in the day, President Barack Obama said that CIA officers who used harsh interrogation techniques on terror suspects would not be prosecuted.

 

"In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution," he said.

Historical fallacy.

meh, I'm not against it

i'm sure the "insect" they put you in a confined space with would likely be poisonous and scary - in fact i think it more likely they would put you in with some kind of big mean arachnid.

i think we just need to hire that russian girl with the pink handcuffs, she'd sort all these terrorists out...

Therefore not an insect.
