Anyone watching PBS Frontline "Torturing Democracy"? It lays out the
entire torture of detainees from right after 911 to present. Absolutely repulsive and inhuman what was done and it highlights the war crimes by the pigs administracion which go up to the high monkey himself. Congress played a role as well...damn this is sad sick shit.

1. We really have to pressure Congress to do something about this.
When Obama is our President, I'm hoping there won't be any interference with Congress finally doing their job.

4. This Frontline is not available on most PBS stations due to the controversial
subject. It might be more available after Jan 20, according to one source. In any case it can be watched online now for a while at www.TorturingDemocracy.org (altho I only found it in responding to this post and so have not yet seen it myself). I see from the website that it was broadcast at Spokane, WA yesterday (KSPS), and in a week at Corpus Christi, TX (KEDT) and San Francisco, CA (KCRB).

6. The worst part is why they did it:
The sole purpose of the Buscho torture "curriculum" is to produce false confessions -- in other words, to cover for their own crimes, and that includes 911 and the rest of the terra show they bamboozled us all with.

This from Jane Mayer's "The Dark Side."
