Torture and Fascism

Gen. Taguba calls torture a war crime.

The Guardian reviews Taxi to the Dark Side.

Here is some crap Cal Thomas wrote in 2006:

The "camps" at Guantanamo resemble American prisons. At least two are modeled after prisons in Indiana and Michigan. The guards are intelligent, respectful and professional.
U.S. policy offers the detainees more rights than could be expected for any American captured in Iraq. They get religiously approved food — up to 4,200 calories per day. I ate one of their lunches, consisting of chicken, noodles, green beans, apple juice, bread and baklava. Arrows on their beds point toward Mecca and they are given undisturbed time to pray.

An interrogation room has a comfortable couch and chair, a table, rug and teapot. Rear Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr., commander of the Joint Task Force, says interrogators live up to the letter and spirit of the Geneva Conventions and abide by the latest Army Field Manual. Detainees are not questioned after 10 p.m. or before 6 a.m.

The truth is that torture was routine at Guantanamo, regardless of what an apologist for U.S. Fascism like Cal Thomas thinks. Cal once wrote that he thinks the U.S. should torture detainees (May, 2005). The fascists are already trying to blame the next terrorist attack on the Supreme Court trying to follow the constitution. Bullshit. The blame falls on the Sons of Torquemada like Cal Thomas. Why don't we treat Cal to some more of their lunches, point his bed to Rome, give him undisturbed time to pray, (is that his euphemism for solitary confinement? What a twisted bastard) promise not to question him between 10 pm and 6 am, and see if that makes him renounce torture.
