The 2004 CIA IG report on torture
Waiting on DOJ to post online version. Here is former CIA Inspector General John Helgerson’s 2004 report into the CIA’s Bush-era interrogations operations. I will comb through the report later. Busy day.v1
This was known for years but now just released to the US. Yes after Bush stating the US doesn't torture nor do we have secret prisons. Well Bush lied. We do torture/rape/murder men/woman/children. We did release after 7 years in jail 567 detainees who were innocent. But we justify our criminal conduct and we condemn others for the same thing. I did feel so bad for the kids and the woman who were tortured/raped for their father/husband to talk. I guess this means the United States is no longer the World Leader of Human Rights. Some feel the Push Policy is Do as I say do not as I do.

Things will be coming out little by little on what went on during the Bush/Darth years.
Upsetting, yes, shocking that underhanded things went on...no.
