Obama won't publish the torture photo's! Could it be the prisonors are pictured lying back on the mat smoking with a smile on their face? Guess the torture wasn't bad enough for Obama to publish?

"ALL the torturers should go down."

We are working our way down the list. It may take time, maybe even eternity but all will go down. We got this one...

Eye gouging
Eyes gouged out and the empty eye sockets stuffed with paper.

Piercing of hands with electric drill.
Common method for political detainees. Amnesty International reported one victim who then had acid poured into his open wounds.

Electric Shock
Common torture method with shocks applied to various parts of the body.

Sexual abuse
Particularly women have been raped and sexually abused, including reports of broken bottles being forced into the victim’s anus.

Other physical torture
Extinguishing cigarettes on various parts of the body, extraction of fingernails and toenails and beatings with canes, whips, hose pipes and metal rods are common.

Mock executions.
Victims being told they are to be executed by firing squad and mock execution staged.

Acid baths
Victims were hung by their wrists and gradually lowered into the acid.

Torture under Saddam Hussein's rule.

If you know a violent rightwing extremist militia had an operational plot to blow up a blue state elementary school in a blue state or a bunch of gay bathhouses and bars in California and you had the ringleader and planner of the group in custody and he refused to talk and laughed when asked what exactly was targeted and when, what would you be willing to do to get him to talk?

Would you do nothing and let him laugh at you after a bomb goes off and kills 500 citizens? Would you be sure to make sure he got 8 hours of peaceful sleep each night, 2400 calories of nutritious food a day and ask him pretty please to help us once each morning?
