So, it turns out that we've released half the folks we've held at Gitmo because, well, because they were innocent. So the question becomes this: Have we tortured innocent people?
The answer, of course, is "No." Don't worry, people we torture never are innocent. They always confess to something. Indeed, that's why fascist dictatorships torture -- to extract confessions from dissidents to justify show trials and executions. Heck, torture me enough, and I'll confess to being the guy behind the grassy knoll who *really* killed JFK. Well, except for the nasty fact that I was born the year after JFK was assassinated but... oh yeah, I did it while I was a fetus. Yeah!

Heck, all they have to do is strap me down and force me to listen to a couple of hours of ABBA, and I'd confess to killing Archduke Ferdinand.

ReplyDeleteSecond, I can believe you were at the grassy knoll as a fetus, since fetuses (fetii?) are people too, according to the mouth-breathin', Bible-thumpin', hooker-humpin', sister-marryin', rifle-rack-in-the-pickmup neocon wingnut idjits. And if they're people, they can be killers, just like the rest o' them good ole boys.
grr, Chinese spammers. Zapped.
