- By any definition except Bush and the neocons--this is torture. People think torture is pulling a persons fingernails out or pressing them between spiked wheels...it is not, it is any technique (psychological or otherwise) which would cause any normal individual extreme mental, emotional or physical duress. For those who want to poke fun at that definition consider that both the Japanese and Korea were charged with war crimes for using a water boarding technique in previous wars and during the Nuremberg trials--Germans were charged with using extreme temperatures and sleep deprivation.
Looks like we got a lot of our techniques from the known play books of torture it's just that our DOUBLE STANDARD SAYS it is evil, wrong and bad when it is done to us--but justified when we do it. We would do better to admit that yes, we do torture and there is nothing anyone can do about it--instead of playing word games that are obvious LIES. - Reply to this comment
- Let's apply "enhanced interrogation" techniques to the Bush Administration cronies and see if Paul O'Neill is telling the truth, which I have always believed he was.
I worked in the Aluminum Industry for 12 years and read many industry journal articles about Paul O'Neill. If Paul says Bush is a liar, then you can bet the farm, Bush is a liar.

- Lets apply "enhanced interrogation techniques" on Tenet, Wolfowitz, Perle, Ledeen, Feith, Eliot Abrams, Wurmser, Kristol, (the whole Jew cabal) etc. to see if WE can finally extract the truth out of these PNAC, AEI, AIPAC Zionist traitors.
Maybe, WE WILL save lives and treasure down the road if we GIVE nukes to Iran.

- Tenet was CIA director for 7 years, across two administrations. It was HIS job, HIS responsibility to KNOW of and COUNTER the threats to our nation's security. He failed miserably and should've been FIRED instead of receiving a distinguished service medal. How can a CIA director worth his salt ever utter these words: "...the palpable fear ... that there was so much we did not know." Again, it was HIS job as DCI over the ENTIRE intelligence community and its resources TO KNOW and to warn us. He failed us all and he should live out the rest of his miserable life in utter shame and disgrace.

- Reagan said, "Trust, but Verify." They say that what they're doing isn't torture, but they refuse verification. They won't describe these "enhanced interrogation" techniques. They won't even say what would constitute torture.
Tenet is Clinton's fault, but the warmth with which DickNBush embraced him speaks volumes. He helped choreograph their war dance. They offer Bushshit, "this has saved lives, trust us." Unfortunately, this administration has done nothing to inspire trust. The evidence against their trustworthiness continues to amass. They, themselves have provided the proof that they simply CAN'T be trusted.
They don't say how many people they've questioned with these methods or how many of those didn't have the information to give them, no matter how enhanced the interrogation became. Torture is ineffective; people say whatever they think the questioner wants to hear, but these guys won't address why their "non-torture," but enhanced techniques don't yield similar results. If the methods were applied to questioning one of their parents or children, would it be torture, then? That's silly, their family aren't the "kind" of people questioned.
Whenever one of these slime-balls says, "we don't use torture," it's "enhanced interrogation," a wink and a nod like the one after a racist says that he'd never, ever discriminate, should punctuate that statement. Nobody believes it, but that's their story and they're sticking to it. - Reply to this comment

- A good movie to watch about this stuff is a movie called Extremities. Weapons of mass destruction? Terrorism? Hijacking airplanes? You can only fight evil with evil.

- This guy is a joke. The medal he has around his neck given by Bush must be depriving his brain from oxygen. No he can't sleep at night for the sins he commited.

- Tenet is just another of Bush's trolls. Tenet is just like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Hadley, Gonzales, and so many more within Bush's kindom who have violated the honor of the American people and the honor of this great country. These people will say and do anything to cover up the evil they have done and continue do to our country on a daily basis.It was said by someone else earlier in these comments.... "I love my country buy I fear my Government". America is great and I love my country very much but our Government is criminal and our leaders are criminals. All you Bush lovers ask yourself. How many innocent people have been or are being held in one of Bush's prisons? How many innocent people have been or are being tortured? If you can say they are all guilty, then kill them all and close down the prisons. But if just one of these indiviuals is innocent.....what does that say about us? What does that say about you? What does that say about what Bush has done to American?
