Mock Executions? Time for a 2nd post.

As noted in the NYT yesterday, there are some key revelations about to come out of the pipeline due to a federal judge's enforcement of a FOIA filing by the ACLU. In point of fact, it has been mentioned previously, and now may be revealed in actuality, that the CIA used "mock execution" in addition to threat of firearm and power drill injury to coerce at least one detainee to confess to terrorist plots. The tapes were destroyed. Some days are behind us, but so long as they are not unearthed, examined, and condemned, such days will be among us and beyond.

Interestingly, there is a decent torture summary on the HowStuffWorks website. Ironic, perhaps, since this is really not how 'stuff' should work. Call your rep.; call your senator. Time not to let this one slip through, folks. Selective ethics will only set worldwide precedents which will come back to haunt us.
