1. The Sanchez memo is exceedingly perverse
Says nothing violates Geneva, then practically all the techniques which are authorized obviously DO violate Geneva.

2. I hate the bullies
The rethugs hate everyone with a conscience.
And I want the corrupt abusive control freak abuser people with NO conscience restrained or otherwise GONE from this world.

Why do we suffer torturers and sociopaths to live?
Isn't what most people with a conscience the types of people non abusive people seek to be removed from society are the abusive bullies, control freaks,con men, dominator's, tyrants of household or country, the pedophiles,rapists,abusers bullies and torturers living among us?

I think these consciousless people are who need to feel the hatred they deserve that they gleefully heap upon us to play their games... Sociopaths come in all shapes,sexes colors,orientations,religious creeds and sizes, but one thing in common is they have no conscience,they all play the same game of power seeking,abuse of trust and win at any cost.

So why do we promote the most abusive and most clever of liars to positions of more power and fail to hold them accountable? Don't you think as our culture gets more sick abusive we would question the way our society is set up so that the people with no conscience are not so richly rewarded and promoted in it?
Sociopaths is a social and systemic problem now because the problem of sociopaths is ignored too much on an individual level.
Our culture has begun a while ago to reflect this sickening of the conscience in so many individuals,so now our culture in general is very sick and it excuses torture that was intolerable 30 years ago and would have incited riots..We are losing our cultural soul because we refuse to remove the individuals who are sociopaths who seek to win any way at any cost,who do not have a soul from society.
As sociopath is an abuser of trust,of kindness,of love and compassion.They deserve NO pity.Sociopaths are not rare serial killer types they can be next door or your own mother or father son or daughter it all depends on the kids of games they seek.

3. This is totally abhorrent
This spreading democracy bullshit is wearing awfully thin.
America is becoming what it professes to hate

How many Arabs are being Radicalized by this treatment of their fellow Arabs.

If they didn't hate America before 9/11 they sure as fuck do now & what exactly is this achieving other than GUARANTEED BLOW BACK MAJOR FUCKING BLOW BACK.

Maybe thats exactly what this administration wants (blow back) to justify their perpetual war for the resources of the Middle East.
