I told you.
I damned well told you.
Rendition is back, you pro-torturing, posturing, hypocritical Leftist fools:
-snip-
When I say "back" I mean that it’s going to become the damned default option for detainees. You howled when we tried to go with an unlawful detainee designation to handle these cases; you shrieked when we set up Gitmo; and you’d whine if we shot them out of hand. The only thing left is to hand these sons of b!tches over to countries without our Bill of Rights and hope that this is enough.
There’s a big hole in the ground in Manhattan that says that it won’t be. But back to the matter at hand:
Mark Kleiman. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture. Andrew Sullivan. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture. Hillary Bok. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture. Glenn Greenwald. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture. Kevin Drum. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture. Duncan Black. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture. Markos Moulitsas. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture. Jerome Armstrong. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture. Matt Stoller. Obama supporter? Then you are now officially pro-torture.
All the damned rest of you on the Online Left. Every single one of you who supported Obama. You are now officially pro-torture.
Remember that when - not "if"; "when" we get the first stories of somebody handed off to… probably Libya, at this rate; it’s precisely the sort of stupid choice you’d see from too-self-aware-of-their-own-smartness people - and wired up to a car battery. You voted for this. You made this happen. You were the change that you believed in. You were warned.
I’ll sleep like a baby. I voted for the other guy.

It’s funny but looking at this Clinton policy retained now by Obama, since the CIA will no longer have a place to hold these people, when they are picked up, exactly where and who will be “tending” to them?
Listening to Hussein is torture.
Maybe we should just force detainees to listen to his windbag campaign speeches at full volume.
must be torture to have to go to bed with Michell
I'm not for outright torture, but I am for a sane definition of torture, and a distinction between "aggressive interrogation" techniques and torture.
