The journalists at The Guardian collectively wet themselves at the thought of this poor, dear man undergoing "torture lite". Meanwhile, the thousands of grieving relatives of the 9-11 victims have to live with the fact that demonic bastard is still breathing...

"Fears that US will use 'torture lite' on al-Qaida No 3"

Fears??? More like sincere PRAYERS!!!

Well, you see, in America, we have this thing called a criminal justice system, and in this criminal justice system, we have a lot of standards, like that people are innocent until proven guilty, they have due process rights, etc.

Now, I know out current president likes to ignore a lot of these really inconvenient things when he wants to execute some people, but there are some of us that would really rather prefer that we were ever to get arrested, we wouldn't be tortured (even tortured "lite"--sleep deprivation is a very powerful tool) in order to extract a confession--after all, we've got to make sure we're killing the right fellow! A confession under torture is VERY effective for something like that.

We might as well just go ahead bring back the Star Chamber for our "war" on terrorism. I think that would make a lot of you folks happy.
