I feel like I’ve been bringing this up for years, as have many other bloggers and commentators … would be nice if it ever pierced the public consciousness, that waterboarding was only the start of what went on in those twisted evil hellholes the Bush Administration bequeathed us (and which Obama apparently intends to maintain)…
Today the ACLU and many bloggers who are concerned with the fact that the United States tortured prisoners and apparently has no intention of holding anyone responsible for it are blogging about a little known fact about the issue: the US Government didn’t just torture a bunch a prisoners, as bad as that was, and as horrible as it remains for those who survived it. The United States tortured many prisoners to death. This does not seem to be common knowledge, but the evidence is quite clear that this happened. Torture and death by torture was not isolated.
