The man who taught me to lay tile had done 10 years on a burglary. At one point he made the sad mistake of knocking out a guard, after which he was cuffed hand to ankle and left for 48 hours. Think Steve McQueen in Papillon. During this, his allergies filled his head with mucous and he thought for several hours he was going to die of "positional asphyxia". Had that happened his body would have been found the next day, as no one ever looked in on him in that time.

This is how we treat our own citizens in civilian prisons. What I hear hear of Club Gitmo, my tile laying bud would cheerfully swap spots with one of these guys.

Durbin has been reading too much of Schulz of Amnesty Int'l fame. Definitly "aid and comfort", I imagine Al Jazeera is running this almost as a tape loop, but absent formal Congressional Declaration of War, idiots like Durbin can get away with vile treachery.

Do a search for the name Louis Pepe.

He's the US prison guard who was hels down by two AlQueda inmates who shoved a sharp comb into his eye & brain.

I have no sympathy for the terrorists. They want to kill us. They will kill rgeir soldier guards in a heartbeat if given a chance. We are at war...get info out of them asap and be done with it.

Aren't the terrorist trained to falsely claim that they are tortured if captured? The al Qaeda training manuals say that is all it takes for our system to go easy on them. They know they have friends in the media and in places of power who will immediately believe that America is evil at the smallest bit of evidence.

Do we even know if this FBI memo is even true? I wonder if is made up like the CBS documents?
