He said he was told that an interrogator would use the tires to stand on, while water was poured into the room and the prisoner electrocuted.

Animals...

Wait a second... I thought the Democrats said the torture chambers were just right-wing propoganda. I am confused.

I am shocked- just shocked by this revelation! I cannot believe this, not in Iraq! No, no, no. Next thing you know they're going to be telling us they found some sort of chemical or biological weapons or something.

Pass the #60 sunscreen! (not an issue for Afghans, I guess). Where's the nearest Catholic Church? :-)

How can this be? Islam is a religion of peace, and Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism. < / sarcasm >

Do you really think torture is funny? Get a clue. This is not fun and games.

:-) Sewing supplies, library, no diapers to change? Silence? (Shade?) I guess it would depend on how many per bathroom!

I'm kidding, pretty much. I love my family! It's just that in two weeks I get my first vacation in 7 years, and I'm getting a little loopy :-).

I'm sorry, I think our wires crossed. I was referring to the situation at Guantanamo Bay.

Are you suggesting that the U.S. is torturing detainees?

I certainly don't think anything in Iraq is funny. Those people are filth.

Sorry about the confusion.
