No shock, but the Pentagon knew about torture in 2003



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Today's Washington Post has obtained a copy of a report describing the torture of prisoners all across Iraq and Guantanamo as "technically illegal." Torture was widespread and often committed against people who weren't even suspected of being insurgents. This effectively puts an end to the "a few bad apples" crap that we suspected was false.

And to the freeper trolls that like to come by and defend this crap, make sure you understand you are defending the use of torture on people who the military admits shouldn't have been in custody in the first place. You are rationalizing and justifying torture against the innocent. And we know that torture is NOT an effective way to get sensitive information.

The strong are torturing the weak and defenseless -- and the INNOCENT. And the Defense Department has known about it for about a year at least. If you don't get as indignant and vocal against this as you do against gay marriage or abortion, you're not a Christian.
