OK, I "knew" that the Iraq war would cause lots of misery, but not this. Experiments in Torture: Physicians group alleges US conducted illegal research on detainees. See also Balloon Juice and PZ Myers.
Well, Hitchens was right about something. It has got much worse.
Thank God there are still Decent people around to keep the focus on the crimes of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
ReplyDeleteYou really didn't expect this? By the time the Iraq War rolled round, we'd already knew about not-so-secret secret prisons, CIA black sites, etc. We also knew that the men running the 'War on Terror' were the same men who ran death squads (BSc School of the Americas, GA) in Latin America in the 1980s. How is any of this a surprise?
