    I don't remember hearing about Camp Nama.
    I went looking for more info after reading the Common Dreams
    article. Here's a NYT gem from 2006:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/19/international/mi...

    "No Blood - No Foul"? People as paint ball targets??
    We are not prosecuting but still promoting these people...
    What gives?
    Is the sheer volume of people in our custody that were
    tortured getting through to the "ticking bomb" scenario
    defenders?

      both the main link and your great 2006 article underscore the point that abuse has been widely known for a long time. we expected bush to cover it up, and he did. we expect obama to encourage transparency, and he's not.

      the corporate press supports the empire. who the president is, or who controls congress, is incidental to them.

      I just don't understand why we must resort to illegal activities in the name of protection. How do we justify doing what we condemn other countries for?

        thanks for the links.

        An interrogator at Camp Nama known as Jeff described locking prisoners in shipping containers for 24 hours at a time in extreme heat; exposing them to extreme cold with periodic soaking in cold water; bombardment with bright lights and loud music; sleep deprivation; and severe beatings.

          I would believe that only if it were under oath.

            under oath, or if pictures were leaked?

            personally. i have a hard time believing that it is an isolated incident. there are probably torture camps set up all over the globe.

          America wonders why we have lost the respect of the world. Apparently the world looks at what we do rather than what we say to see what we stand for.

              These are a few of my favorite things.... Oops, almost broke into song there.
              Unfortunately it's so sad and yet so true.
