Terrorism; torture
by
Rich Gardner | 05.06.2011
The renewed debate on torture is now over. The score is Jane Mayer: 1 and Ann Coulter: 0. Further thoughts on the debate. Further update with John Yoo's view. Added: addendum with Rick Santorum's view. American intelligence operations located Osama by following his trusted couriers, whose names were given up by al-Qaida members during harsh interrogations at CIA black sites under President Bush. Yes, the same interrogations endlessly denounced by the entire Democratic Party (save Joe Lieberman), the mainstream media, and an especially indignant Jane Mayer in The New Yorker. Ann Coulter 5May2011
Free showing of the 2008 documentary: Dilawar, a poor Afghani taxi driver, is brought into US detention under fraudulent circumstances and tortured to death after five days of confinement at the notorious Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The perpetrators of the crime at Bagram, their commanders, top government officials responsible for the legal and political support for torture, inside whistle blowers, activist attorneys and scholars all are featured in the story of America’s “new torture paradigm”. 2008; 105 minutes; 8pm or dusk
