Thank you for your reply.....

<<Well, if they exist (and that hasn't been proven that I know of) they would be secret so I wouldn't have much knowledge of them (at least none that I would admit to).>>

"CNN reported November 8, 2005, that Senator Trent Lott "told reporters the information in the Post story was the same as that given to Republican senators in a closed-door briefing by Vice President Dick Cheney last week."

I think this pretty much confirms their existence.....

<<He woke up, grabbed his belt, and literally kicked my @ss out of his room and down the hall.. (and I deserved every whack).>>

Damn right you did.....but with all respect, this is not pertinent to the torture issue. My Father would have done the same thing to me and I agree with you that it would be totally deserved.

<<it's FAR BETTER treatment than those two mutilated US soldiers received (let alone those kidnapped Russians).>>

Agreed 100%.....what happened those poor guys is deplorable however our reaction can never be to retaliate in kind or "bend" the rules, as we lose the higher ground from which we state our case. If we ever deteriorate to the lawless state of our enemy, we will have lost everything.
