Comments on: Iranian Diplomat: CIA Tortured Me

U.S. Official Describes Diplomat's Claims Of Torture During Two-Month Detention In Iraq As "Theatrics"

[toolmangler-2009]

The official dismissed any claims of torture, saying "the CIA does not conduct or condone torture."

When did they start this NEW program?

He is quite correct. The CIA has a 'New program' that utilizes a series of "Physical & Mental inducements". This is nothing barbaric like 'TORTURE'. Just like MS_Windows if you rename it, you change its function.

Put your unnecessary labels away. There is no such thing as a "hate America first" crowd. The people who are justifiably unhappy with the direction the Republicans have taken this country in are not traitors, wimps, or anti-American.

There is nothing wrong with questioning your government, especially when its actions are so severely questionable. You would do well to remember that blind patriotism is the worst kind of patriotism. It's not only useless, it's also dangerous.

Please pray for Peace, through-out the entire world.

God Bless Each of You.

I used to be so proud to be an American. Now I see something like this and I think, "it's probably true..."


Atta boy, stand tough.

To be fair to you, if you thought any good of YOUR country, the MSM will do their level best to make sure that America comes across as the evil empire. And Hollywood and its minions will insure delivery of their message, the radical left will be glad to pick up those that have separated from the herd and indoctinate you into the "Hate America First" crowd.

Happy Easter

It is sad some of these individuals that post here with hatred for mankind. What does their post achieved? Propaganda for the extreme right wing and extreme left wings of our political system, radical Muslims themselves,KKK members,and extremist Judeo Christians.The average Christian that opposes the war in Iraq where are there voices? The moderate voice may have fell silent in the Muslim world but the moderate voice in America has fell silent also.

Re: "I would hope those of us who profess the Judaic, Christian faiths would uphold their values."

Many are starting to. Thousands of religious people Marched on the Pentagon, to mark the 4th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq/torure/etc. Around 200 of them were arrested for "civil disobedience" acts.

I would hope those of us who profess the Judaic, Christian faiths would uphold their values. Torture is unacceptable to any civilized people. It is barbaric. More, pragmatically, it produces incorrect and, most often. false information.

Feelfree1 I save you some time this will be essentially his reply.

[feelfree1]

pwrslm,

Do a little research on a man named David A. Passaro, a CIA contract interrogator, who tortured a man named Abdul Wali, to death, in Afghanistan, in June 2003.

There are many other examples.
