United States interrogators killed nearly four dozen detainees during or after their interrogations, according a report published by a human rights researcher based on a Human Rights [...]
When the goon hits your eye with a big chunk of ply, that’s a’torture
Did Nancy Pelosi have briefings about torture before any of us knew? If she did, that could go a very long way toward explaining why she took impeachment off the table during the Bush administration. Perhaps she was covering her own ass.
