Apparently, they don't want anyone to know that they coerced someone into saying Jose Padilla was a terrorist...

Yeah, but I mean, the guy's got a Hispanic sounding name.

Surely the rule is, anything that is authorised cannot have been torture, and anything that is torture cannot have been authorised. No photos by request.

Good thing for the USA that the CIA could fu#k up a one car parade, something they have demonstrated time and time again. Some intelligence organization--both words in that adjective/noun combo being oxymorons.

a lot of things go missing with the CIA, including planeloads of 'coke' and extreme-rendition candidates,,,, sometimes by the same aircraft.

I imagimed what would have happened if Jose had been an all out Terrorist to the bone. The neo Feds (Cheney) would have not merely revolked Habeous Corpus and start torture camps worldwide but they would use Jose as the reason why your neighbors and family need special screening and detention.

We dodged a bullet, the bullet of a purge of US citizens going far beyond the Japanese "internment camps".

In the old days in ancient Rome, it is my understanding no slave could be counted as a reliable witness unless they had been tortured into giving testimony! Said testimony was only valid if it was a result of torture.

if Jose had been an all out Terrorist to the bone Maybe they'd have offered him a job.
