Are you following all these torture revelations going on in Washington right now? The whole Khalid-Sheikh-Mohammed-waterboarded-183-times-in-a-month-and-then-oh-surprise-he-admitted-to-planning-all-of-911 stuff? Here's another great addition: the torture tactics they approved were taken from a training program to give soldiers a taste of how they could potentially be treated by enemy combatants if they became POWs. The kicker is that, apparently, nobody at the top tried to investigate one step further and ask, well, where did the military get these tactics in the first place? Turns out they were "a sample of the torture methods used by Communists in the Korean War, methods that had wrung false confessions from Americans."
It took about 50 years for America to literally become it's own worst enemy, complete with utter blindness to the results of their own actions. Unbelievable. How the fuck did Bush not get impeached? The man is a war criminal.
