An anonymous Wikipedia user from an IP address that is registered to United States Senate has tried, and failed, to remove a phrase with the word "torture" from the website's article on the Senate Intelligence Committee's blockbuster CIA torture report.
The unknown individual has attempted on at least two occasions — first on Dec. 9 and then on Dec. 10 — to remove a line describing the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques as "a euphemism for torture."
Gee it looks like somebody REALLY doesn't like it when we call torture done by the United States "torture."
Perhaps somebody should have thought of that before they, you know, tortured people.
Well well well. Since the mid terms and the forced righty bumpy side road, life has been great. All the chest beating, resignations, new wigs, excuses, documents, and everyone throwing fits? How sadly entertaining. The Real Deal. Watching Our PAID ELECTED bozos act like bozos. Whew. Enjoy the holidays everyone. Gas prices are suddenly low and nobodies gives a shit about America. How much did she sale for?
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to an article on KOS that includes an interrogation guide written by the Marine Corp's top interrogator during WW-II.

He knew what every good interrogator now knows. When US intel officers interrogated important Nazis during WW-II, even they claimed they got the best results by feeding them steak dinners and playing chess with them. You know - using actual human psychology. The Bush admin, in contrast, turned the terrorists into the equivalent of evil, invading aliens from outer space. No need for human psychology there. I think Jesse Ventura (yes, THAT Jesse Ventura), a former SEAL who has been through SERE, said it well: Cowards think torture works because they know it would work on them, but interrogators are not dealing with cowards like them.
“Newly-obtained FAA registration records reveal that the American “mystery plane” busted this July with 35 kilos of heroin at an airport outside Sydney, Australia was a CIA plane. At least, it had been when it rolled off the assembly line 40 years earlier, courtesy a CIA deal with the U.S. Forest Service. And the CIA never sells off its planes.

It seems there may be more Mad Cow involved than just Mad Cow News. The aircraft to which you refer is registered to a flying club in Virginia. Another airplane referenced in the same article is not an airplane but a rotorcraft built in 1961 and is registered to a museum. I didn't go any further into the article. And why would the CIA never sell off its airplanes? Do they like to be recognized wherever they go? Do they never outlive their usefulness? It seems more logical that they would constantly turn their aircraft over to avoid recognition and maintenance downtime, both of which will increase the longer the CIA owns an aircraft.
DeleteSomeone has pangs of guilt and tapped one of their friends to re write history. They've written their sides in books and now they're trying their best to change a wiki entry? Do they know there's a thing called "Google" and "You Tube"?
