>>>>This is a very odd response to this article... I am not really sure how to take it. Are you wanting to know this information or not? Are you wanting it posted somewhere in an official memo detaling all techniques employed by the US Government on interrogating detainees? If it were posted, what purpose would it serve?

Danny Pearl was the American journalist beheaded on the internet and William Buckley the Beirut station chief tortured and murdered by Hezbollah.
Not sure what you mean by "from the context, I'd conclude I'm better off not knowing them". I guess if they had been prisoners in Gitmo forced to endure harsh words from culturally insensitive guards they would be more worthy of sympathy.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
