Read the article carefully and ignore the leftist hyperbole.
I'm sure Danner chose the most sensational excerpts fromt the ICRC report, but I remain convinced that these "high value" captives were not tortured.
Treated harshly? Yes, of course. These men were involved in the planning of the murder of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocents. They were made to reveal what they knew.
But were there limbs broken or severed? No.
Were they mutilated? No.
Were their families captured, confined, and beaten? No.

This is the reason you shot them when you are done and feed their stinking carcass to the pigs as slop....

About time these treasonous ‘Leftist’s’ went on trial. . .

“A trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins awakened by a late-night telephone call from the director of central intelligence and flown in great secrecy to the other side of the world. The wounded man barely escapes death”
BS article. What “trauma surgeon” can be flown halfway around the world for life saving surgery. If he didn’t die in the first 2-4 hours there was no need for any trauma surgeon.

Abu Zubaydah is one of the worst of the worst of Bin Laden's operatives, right up there with Khalid Sheik Mohammed.
We're supposed to feel sorry for this POS?????????

NO??
Now I'm really pissed! We need to put Bush & the CIA on trial for "dereliction of duty".

No titty twisting allowed, You WILL go to jail!
Sheesh.
The left will be doing worse to American citizens if Obama has his way.
Why else would Zero's patrol bots be patrolling the internet and taking names?

Deep inside the forbidden zone at the US-occupied Bagram air base in Afghanistan, around the corner from the detention center and beyond the segregated clandestine military units, sits a cluster of metal shipping containers protected by a triple layer of concertina wire. The containers hold the most valuable prizes in the war on terrorism—captured al Qaeda operatives and Taliban commanders....That's rich! When I workled there in '03-04, the prison was across the street from my clinic.

That was country and western music. Johnny Cash.
If it had been " The Greatful Dead" the left would not be complaining.

An American captured by al Qaida will have far worse done to him. You can count on it.
Muslim fanatics don't care about such niceties as what does and what does not constitute torture.
