Hello! You know what a little bird told me? I heard that American service members in Afghanistan and Iraq don't get committed to prison for war crimes if they approve themselves as inspirational tortures. Vice versa. They torture experience is very much esteemed by military authorities and these people become sort of elite prison official of secret CIA jails in Europe (prisons located in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) and the Caucasus region (in Georgia and Azerbaijan).
This is just what happened to David Passaro. This man was a CIA contractor in 2003 and after he beat to death an Afghan detainee named Abdul Wali, he was leveled up to work in some CIA secret prison in Europe. People say that Abdul Wali was not the only Passaro's victim. Anyway I recon David is a lucky beggar. He managed to give a taste show quality and now he's got a top-paying job in the CIA. I think that some day he will rise to the rank of general or at least will draw a pretty good pension and hare off to turn hand to some sort of business.
Bullshit. You need to get a new bird with better sources.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Human Rights Watch Friday welcomed the conviction of a CIA contractor for killing an Afghan detainee.

RALEIGH - Former CIA contractor David Passaro, the only person associated with the agency to be prosecuted for prisoner abuse, was sentenced Tuesday to eight years, four months in prison for beating an Afghan detainee who later died.
In August, a jury convicted Passaro, 40, of Lillington, of one felony and three misdemeanor assault charges in connection with the death of Abdul Wali, an Afghan farmer suspected in rocket attacks on a military outpost near Asadabad, Afghanistan. Passaro was working for the CIA as part of a paramilitary team hunting terrorists near the Pakistan border ...
Now, that may be a modest sentence for what he did, and it certainly doesn't undo the victim's death, and there's no doubt more can, should, and will be done regarding abuse of detainees, but that particular tree you're barking under ain't got no squirrel up it.
