This poor victim would have given anything to trade places with them, Mr. Sifton.

EXCLUSIVE: CIA Secret 'Torture' Prison Found at Fancy Horseback Riding Academy ABC News Finds the Location of a "Black Site" for Alleged Terrorists in Lithuania By BRIAN ROSS and MATTHEW COLE
Nov. 18, 2009 —
The CIA built one of its secret European prisons inside an exclusive riding academy outside Vilnius, Lithuania, a current Lithuanian government official and a former U.S. intelligence official told ABC News this week.
Where affluent Lithuanians once rode show horses and sipped coffee at a café, the CIA installed a concrete structure where it could use harsh tactics to interrogate up to eight suspected al-Qaeda terrorists at a time. A full report on the can be seen on ABC's World News with Charles Gibson tonight.
"The activities in that prison were illegal," said human rights researcher John Sifton. "They included various forms of torture, including sleep deprivation, forced standing, painful stress positions."
Lithuanian officials provided ABC News with the documents of what they called a CIA front company, Elite, LLC, which purchased the property and built the "black site" in 2004.
Lithuania agreed to allow the CIA prison after President George W. Bush visited the country in 2002 and pledged support for Lithuania's efforts to join NATO.
"The new members of NATO were so grateful for the U.S. role in getting them into that organization that they would do anything the U.S. asked for during that period," said former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, now an ABC News consultant. "They were eager to please and eager to be cooperative on security and on intelligence matters."

whomever disclosed this should be tried for treason.
No word on how many American lives were saved using the “secret” bat cave?
Boot camp in the early 60's.
“The activities in that prison were illegal,” said human rights researcher John Sifton. “They included various forms of torture, including sleep deprivation, forced standing, painful stress positions.”
Are these considered torture? Perhaps we couldn’t find a comfy chair.
“sleep deprivation, forced standing, painful stress positions.” Boy...that is really torture. If that’s all they did, to call it torture is really a stretch.
This poor victim would have given anything to trade places with them, Mr. Sifton.
Sleep deprivation....I had 3 kids...I guess I asked for the torture...and so did these guys...
Bump
They included various forms of torture, including sleep deprivation, forced standing, painful stress positions....
Sounds like finals week in college (including negotiating the queue for the card punch machines in the computer room)
So they made the muzzies ride dressage? What's the big deal?
yeah no kidding - I can recall the tear gas............
“Perhaps we couldn’t find a comfy chair.”
Don’t forget the nice cigar and the pillow. Maybe Dr Phil could of helped them get in touch with their feelings.
I wish you would not show those photos. Every time I see them I want to jam a red hot poker up some Muzzie’s a$$.
Torture? Blow it our your arse, Sparky.
Torture is what was done to Daniel Pearl & Nick Berg!
"The new members of NATO were so grateful for the U.S. role in getting them into that organization that they would do anything the U.S. asked for during that period," said former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, now an ABC News consultant.
Ah yes.... the evil old George Bush, again. The horror! He'd keep them out of NATO if they didn't allow him to HURT TERRORISTS!!! Sob, sob! They were just "following orders"!
Are there any -- ANY -- lengths, these turdballs won't go to to discredit and destroy our nation?
Obviously Richard Clarke. Treason and treachery are nothing new for the pathetic, soulless creature.
Sound like guard duty. What did the prisoners go through?
