But this administration has made torture an integral part of its intelligence operations; not condoned torture, not had a few isolated incidents of rogue personnel, not slipped on a we spot or accidnetly hit their head on a door; to deny it damages credibility.
As I asked another poster, and your proof of all this?

The point here is that the USA has been slipping to the lower set of standards with worrisome regularity as of late. Well, it's not exactly a new phenomenom, but then it did get chewed on in the earlier cases too. And it's receiving its due amount of crap from the other open societies as a result.
This is total bullox. If you think we used to treat prisoners better you have another thing coming.
