“
Interrogation techniques undoubtedly have lasting effects, she said, such as paranoia, anxiety, hypervigilance and 'the destruction of people's personalities.'”
I certainly hope so. I prefer my “top Al Qaeda suspects” have permanent mental damage. This story is one more reason to kill as many on the battlefield as possible (or wherever they happen to be) . Of course, they are terrorists who like to kill innocent people, so the phrase “mental damage” is not only redundant, but the goals of these academics are pure folly. They are freakin' terrorists! Perhaps “torture”—which, of course, American tactics aren't—will instill some common sense in some of these fellows.
“If this is torture, we've been torturing our own soldiers for years. Why is it that we are all of a sudden revolted and aghast?”
Thankfully I think the military has enough willpower and know-how to limit the effects of these inane leftist policies regarding the War on Terrorism et al.
