The Abduction, Tortures, And Murder of James Bulger

Article-1255274-088c343d000005dc-181_224x346
Petrifying. That's the exact word I will use to describe the murder of an innocent young child, James Bulger by two 10 years old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. As hard as it is to believe that this murder was carried out by such young lads, perhaps it is time for us to reflect and face the harshness of reality.

How Drug-Industry Lobbyists Won on Health-Care

Is there something out of whack when there are more lobbyists, each paid more handsomely, than Congressmen? When outsourced contractors earn more than patriots? When there are no limits to the price of greed?

Pelosi Accuses CIA of 'Misleading' Her on Interrogations

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today accused the CIA of "misleading" her on the use of harsh interrogation techniques in the fall of 2002, acknowledging for the first time publicly she knew alleged terrorist detainees were subjected to waterboarding more than six years ago. Pelosi called for the CIA to release detailed portions of her own September 2002 briefing about interrogation techniques, saying that at that time she was told the CIA was not waterboarding detainees. After weeks of sticking to prior statements that she then was never "briefed" about waterboarding's use, Pelosi today said her top security adviser was part of a briefing in February 2003 in which he learned interrogators were waterboarding terrorists.

We tortured 2 prisoners to death in Afghanistan in 2002

A combination of “enhanced interrogation” techniques approved by high-level Bush administration officials coupled with a series of brutal beatings administered by military interrogators were directly responsible for the December 2002 deaths of two detainees at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan, according to a report released last week by the Senate Armed Services Committee. The report classified their deaths as homicides. In other words, the two prisoners were tortured to death.

FBI: Key Sept. 11 Leads Obtained Without Torture

Abu_237
One of the critical questions in the debate over the CIA's use of harsh interrogation tactics is this: Did they work? The case of Abu Zubaydah is often held up as the quintessential example of why enhanced interrogation techniques are a necessary evil. Former CIA director Michael Hayden said as much on Fox News last Sunday: "The critical information we got from Abu Zubaydah came after we began the EITs [enhanced interrogation techniques]."
