I googled "torture + cia" and it's back in the news again.

Besides torture being "mean" -- I think most people would agree that they would -- eventually -- say anything under torture.

It's more than "mean"...when a nation uses torture, and Bush has finally admitted it (without much reporting--how typical), it loses it's soul and national identity. We are no long the "light of Liberty" in the world...just the #1 agent of darkness. Thanks a lot, Darth Cheney and the rest of you jazzbo pricks who condoned this.
