I must say, the ignorance of the American people never fails to dumbfound me. I have been saying this since Bush's first election.

@cicerone imposter,
Quote:
In The Dark Side, Jane Mayer, a staff writer for the New Yorker, documents some of the ugliest allegations of wrongdoing charged against the Bush administration. Her achievement lies less in bringing new revelations to light than in weaving into a comprehensive narrative a story revealed elsewhere in bits and pieces. Recast as a series of indictments, the story It has imprisoned suspects, including U.S. citizens, without charge, holdinMayer tells goes like this: Since embarking upon its global war on terror, the United States has blatantly disregarded the Geneva Conventions.g them indefinitely and denying them due process. It has created an American gulag in which thousands of detainees, including many innocent of any wrongdoing, have been subjected to ritual abuse and humiliation. It has delivered suspected terrorists into the hands of foreign torturers.
Under the guise of “enhanced interrogation techniques,” it has succeeded, in Mayer’s words, in “making torture the official law of the land in all but name.” Further, it has done all these things as a direct result of policy decisions made at the highest levels of government.

@OmSigDAVID,
You still miss the "message." Go back and "think" if you are able.
