...The 25 lines edited out of the court papers contained details of how Mr Mohamed’s genitals were sliced with a scalpel and other torture methods so extreme that waterboarding, the controversial technique of simulated drowning, “is very far down the list of things they did,” the official said.
Another source familiar with the case said: “British intelligence officers knew about the torture and didn’t do anything about it.”
No wonder:
...President Obama said on Wednesday that he is seeking to block the release of photographs that depict American military personnel abusing captives in Iraq and Afghanistan, worrying that the images could “further inflame anti-American opinion.”
But it's not Iraqi or Afghani public opinion The One is worried about. It's American public opinion. American anti-Amerikan Empire public opinion, from when we were a Republic ruled by laws and backed things like the Geneva Conventions.
Sure, Bu$hCo planned it all for kicks, in order to make somebody confess to something. Preferably the usual suspects confessing to exactly what the Company wanted to hear. Yeah, they likely told Nancy and Harry and were able to blackmail the DINOcrats into keeping their mouths shut. Evidence on the wiretaps tends to do that, especially with a little judicious editing. No surprises there.
But one wonders if early on in the campaign game both ex-Senators Clinton and Obama were told because, after all each might be Pre$ident some day. Since it was Classified, they kept their mouths shut as their Patriotic duty.
At first: then the discreet Company messengers stopped by with money. Which was also discreetly recorded.
And then came their Orders.
Carrot and big, big stick.
