Senate Torture Report now available as a graphic novel.

Courtesy of Slate: 

The 2014 torture report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee is a 500-plus-page denunciation of the CIA’s use of EITs, or enhanced interrogation techniques, during George W. Bush’s presidency. Now Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón, the pair behind the best-selling graphic novel adaptation of the 9/11 Commission Report, have illustrated the torture memo in powerful, disturbing detail. Here’s an excerpt from their haunting book.

Haunting is right take a look at some of the pages.



Damn reminds me of some of the horror comics I read as a kid.

Remember Trump once made the following statement:

"Would I approve waterboarding? You bet your ass I'd approve it! You bet your ass! In a heartbeat! In a heartbeat! And I would approve more than that!"

Gee, perhaps we should all buy a copy of this graphic novel and send it to the White House?

It's only $14.98, and it has pictures so perhaps Trump could actually understand what it says.

I don't know, worth a shot I guess.

    The stupid man-child doesn't even know what water boarding is. It is the experience of drowning. He would "approve more than that?" The Doofus in Chief really is an ignorant sadist. I bet he tortured animals when he was younger.

    tRump would approve of this, he likes to appear big and tough. I always imagined that Dickless Cheney has copies of all these ordeals, and really enjoys reliving those "glory days".

    Trump tortured Ivana when he thought that his hair transplant went bad:

    Throughout the history of mankind there has never been any more cruel than those that believe they're doing "God's work".

    Think about that
    tonight
    while you're trying to get to sleep...

      You can always tell the people that really have no idea what the hell they are talking about when they try to sound intelligent and worldly by repeating some blanket statement they have heard, because it sounds right, but really holds no water.

      Hitler-approx 11 million deaths- not for a religious cause

      Pol Pot-estimates range 1-3 million deaths- not for a religious cause

      Stalin-20 million deaths- not for a religious cause

      So tonight when I go to sleep, I will think instead how laughable people like Randall are, that are pretendy smarty, but really don't know much. Not much at all.

    " There are many potential areas worthy of an investigation into this president, but Trump’s conflicts of interest aren’t going away, and if he is violating the Constitution, that IS an impeachable offense."

  7. Of course Trump believes in torture. He doesn't believe these people are equals. They are inferior. In some cases, hardly people at all. And since he is so distanced he really doesn't see the inhumanity of it. Not that I think he would comprehend any of it. He's not the brightest bulb on the string.
