“Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” = TORTURE!
What Was Your First Laugh…At Yourself?

We’ve been told that the people we detain and torture are the worse of the worse terrorists, which is another gross lie to gain support of the American people for torture, and implicate them in this unspeakable crime against humanity. In reality, the US military and intelligence services merely gather up stray non-combatants, living near battlefields, or they pay local warlords to provide them with innocent men, women and children to torture.
In Afghanistan, according to Human Rights Watch, “Anti-Taliban forces regularly cast a wide net, sweeping up non-combatants, and many of those they captured are delivered to U.S. officials, and in at least some cases in exchange for bounty payments … Some sent to Guantanamo were simply farmers, taxi drivers and labors with no meaningful ties to the Taliban or al Qaeda, not the enemy combatants the Bush administration claimed … The military is also jailing an undisclosed number of children.”
It is doubtful that such tillers of the soil, drivers of cabs, or labors digging ditches have any real data to give to their torturers, but they must have one overriding question: “Why are you Americans here in our country torturing and killing us, and destroying our country?” Good question, the answer to which will not come from our corporately owned media.
Largely unknown to the American public, thanks to the corporate media, once in office Obama quickly out-matched the insane torture policies of Bush, the Younger, with his doctrine called “Prolonged Detention.”
Under Obama’s unconstitutional doctrine of Prolonged Detention, America is officially imprisoning people, not for any crimes they have committed, but for “crimes” they may commit in the future. Prolonged Detention, sometimes called “Preventive Detention” is the Obama power to keep people in prison, indefinitely, without any proof of guilt, without any formal charges being brought against them, and without any legal defense, convictions, or any sentencing; but, torture is optional. This is not the Rule of Law, it is the Rule of Obama.
The gestalt of torture, and its threat, is configured on physical and psychological phenomena, meant to reduce human kind into such a fearful state, man is prohibited from spiritual advancement. Torture, and the threat of it is the ultimate weapon in the war for men’s souls.
