Torture weekend
There were several revelations on torture over the weekend as the CIA defenders tried to dump stories into the less read weekend to soften the impact of this weeks re-release of a less redacted CIA IG report on torture.
I'm relinking these weekend posts because I think they're important. (Traditional media treats these stories as "written," and won't really highlight the specifics when more people are paying attention.)
So, On the IG's report on torture: 1) "More than one" mock execution and a Cole bomber "threatened" with a power drill.
2) The interrogation of that detainee was videotaped, but it was one of the videotapes the CIA controversially destroyed.
3) No attacks were averted through this torture.
And, From Der Spiegel, we learned that Blackwater was used in renditions from Guantanamo to the secret prison system. In other words, they were a clear link in "disappearing" people out of the system. They claim to have flight numbers, etc.
