Torture - Down the memory hole....
Lest we forget.

Issue "Cancel elections" talk and torture falls off the screen....

Start a meaningless debate on marriage in the senate so right wing nut Santorum can spew his homophobic filth. Torture slides further down the pipe.

Tout more non-specific warnings of terror and the ensuing political discourse allows torture to slip further away from people's mind.

Senate Intel committee issues a spun, twisted report designed to outrage the opposition and shift their focus from other more damaging issues...

Torture is gone from sight.

Meanwhile somewhere in Iraq and Afganistan some contractors are still smearing shit on prisoners, shocking their genitals and stacking them in naked pyramids, beating, raping and murdering them.

1. Yep. That's totally true.
And yes, I have absolutely no doubt that the Imperial Torture and Rape Rooms only slowed slighty, and maybe not at all.

That is what happens when you live in a Third World Nation like Imperial Amerika without Checks and balances.

Of course, even more frightening is how they could so EASILY do the same to all of US and the Imperial Amerikan Subjects m,ight twitch their noses a bit, then go back to grazing undisturbed.

2. All They Did Was Ban Cameras
They don't want to get caught again.

3. What about the Child Abuse? What about the pics not yet released?
Guess they never will be, then.
