Cyndexia (OP) User ID: 1368490 United States 05/05/2011 12:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Momentum for a major public inquiry was dramatically increased when Mr Obama released four memos last week written by three officials from Mr Bush's Justice Department. Running to 126 pages, they contained the legal rationale for the CIA's methods of extracting information from al-Qaeda suspects used between 2002 and 2005. The methods, eventually prohibited by the Bush administration, included sleep deprivation for up to 11 days, forced nudity and stress positions as well as "waterboarding", a form of simulated drowning in which "water is continuously applied from a height of 12 to 24 inches" for "20 to 40 seconds". Wasn't it waterboarding to have been the method in receiving the information in finding bin laden?

A Friend Indeed User ID: 1370749 United States 05/05/2011 12:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't recall that Bush prohibited waterboarding - in fact I recall that his administration initiated and defended the practice. Didn't they claim that it wasn't torture?? C'mon, don't you recall that they defended the practice. The fact that Obama released info that may lead to an inquiry might just result in a truth disclosure, and a possible end to some of the attrocities perpetrated by the U.S. powers that be. Really, think about what Obama is doing for a second. Might he not be trying to put an end to such abusive practices? Why now after the whole Osama incident? Could it be to counter the disinfo that such inhumane attrocities led to a "successful kill"? I think there is a message in the message that we should all be getting. Momentum for a major public inquiry was dramatically increased when Mr Obama released four memos last week written by three officials from Mr Bush's Justice Department.

While in the same week, plans to release 2k pictures detailing the abuse of prisoners under our stewardship. Geez, that's kinda blatant you know. |
