The media kindly informs: "we were mean" to the rat-bastard that helped plan the 9/11 attack. How will I ever sleep? And the story is out of New York, where there are probably more people per capita paying by the hour to be treated the way we treated this mutt than anywhere else in the world.
In a 12-page article released yesterday, reporter Jane Mayer analyzes the development of the CIA's secret interrogation techniques and writes that a confidential ICRC report to the U.S. government details Mohammed's assertions that he was tortured by the CIA. Unnamed Washington sources told Mayer that Mohammed said he was held naked in his cell, questioned by female interrogators to humiliate him, attached to a dog leash and made to run into walls, and put in painful positions while chained to the floor. Mohammed also said he was "waterboarded" -- a simulated drowning -- in addition to being held in suffocating heat and painfully cold conditions. Mohammed's captors also told him shortly after his arrest in March 2003: "We're not going to kill you. But we're going to take you to the very brink of your death and back," the article said.
Does anyone besides the liberal media and the Far Left actually care how we treated this murdering bastard? We could tie the sob to a cross and take him around the country to town squares everywhere and give the kiddies a whack at him with a hardball for a quarter a pop, for all I care. And they'd get a stuffed animal if they nail him in the manly bits ... before we hang or shoot him on the National Mall.
Lastly, need I remind you, we have a likely now former NFL quarterback who treated his dogs worse than this. Spare me the puppy dog tears for Khalid Sheik Mohammed, sounds like he got off too easy, if you ask me.
I would have loved to have observed the three stooges bit in bold above, though! ; ) yuk! yuk! yuk!


Of course the only source for any of this is KSM himself. And he wouldn't lie. And no, we shouldn't care even if it's all true. But you can rest assured this will be used as further grist for the mill by the ACLU types that we're barbaric in failing to accord Geneva protections to seventh century illegal combatants. Cue the outrage in...3, 2, ....

Wow - I'm gonna lose sleep over that tonight. I would have just started shoving the SOB into a wood chipper feet first. He would have sang like a canary before the first drop of blood was spilled.

I like your observation - because if Mohammed was complaining that his US handlers prohibited his right to leash wearing, his being :intimidated" by females and blindfolded to boot?
Oh heck, they'd still embargo - it would be pretty embarrassing for the nets to admit one of their's had lassoed and pressed their 4 inch heal into one of the 9-11 masterminds, wouldn't it?

If he wasn't on vacation, we could expect St. Andrew of the Blessed Heart-Ache to start bleating about how gob-smacked he was by this vileness in...3...2...1...

He should be put in a dunk tank filled with pig blood. Then we could get Sammy Sosa to throw baseballs at the target, No wait, I forgot...he couldn't hit that target in 100 years. I'll just get my son's little league team, they're more accurate than he is. Allah Aakbar you piece of shit.

I am opposed to and deplore torture. I'm glad it wasn't used on this mass murderer. Now, how is it he got to play see my sch--ng and look I'm your doggie dog with some babes in air-conditioned and central-heated conditions while doing floor exercises and simulated surfing? I thought mass murderers were supposed to be given punishment.

The question was asked, "Does anyone besides the liberal media and the Far Left actually care how we treated this murdering bastard?" No they don't!
I've finally figured out why the liberal media and the Far Left get apoplectic whenever we man handle terrorist. It's simple. They're scared we will piss them off to the extent that they will become more aggressive and step up their attacks.
So how does that affect the left-wing in this country? you ask. It is their fear that they will have to fight and die for something. And to a liberal nothing is worth fighting and dying for. And I mean nothing.

I imagine none of this stuff was as harsh as when the dentist fixed up his teeth. I imagine the information we got out of him was more valuable then a nice smile.

"does the thought of dark-skinned people getting tortured make you hard?"
It depends, but mostly I'd probably prefer a consenting white skinned female, I'm an old fashioned kinda guy.

I really don't give a rat's ass about how these terrorists are treated! \
As long as THEY are TARGETING innocent civilians and hiding in Mosques, Hospitals, Schools and behind the skirts of women and little children, then I really don't see the logic in US being SO concerned over THEIR treatment.
And don't give me this CRAP about, "if WE mistreat them, then THEY will mistreat OUR soldiers, etc." - NEWS FLASH: THEY have been beheading OUR soldiers and others, so I say, "if THEY mistreat US, then WE will mistreat THEM".
That in mind, PROCEED with the interrogations.

Yep ... and they will try that, all the while remaining blissfully ignorant that doing so undermines the Conventions themselves.
Their protections were intended for those who do take steps to protect ... as opposed to target, then kill ... noncombatants.
