Tortured To Death?

I don't understand how they keep getting caught. If your going to torture don't take pictures of it. Write a memo detailing your activities. This has to be done using verbal authority only and the fewer people involved the better.

I not for torture, but if I was going to torture.....

LOL

I have been listening to many talk show debates on this matter and no doubt pictures and testimonials are going to play a huge role in eliminting this in the minds of many Americans.

What I don't understand is 'Why not just give them the death sentence'? Why torture them?

Well, there seems to be debate on the table that suggests that the torture is used to obtain false testimonies that can be used to further the ends of political think tanks in the US and Europe.

I'd like to hear anyone's comments on this matter especially stuff that I can look into and check myself. I already have a story to start from besides this post.

How do we know, truely, who are the bad guys? How do we stop them?
These terrorists will continue to kill anyone and everyone they think stand in the way of their perfect world. AND we Americans fit the bill. Just turn on the TV, the reality shows.... the vanity, the extravegance, the language, the sexual content, the content itself (or lack of it); it disgusts me that we as an intelligent society have stooped to this base entertainment. No wonder the radical muslims want us dead.
Now I'm not defending their actions but just trying to understand why someone could HATE so violently that they would kill their own wives and children if it killed one of "us'.
How do we separate who's who? Tell me how we do it? You can't TALK to people with this kind of mentality. They don't trust us from the onset even before this torture situation. They torture and behead innocent civilians and reporters. They laugh at us 'stupid' Americans calling waterboarding torture or making them wear womens underwear , they behead people and film it, they drag prisoners through streets naked then send the films to be shown on TV.
Give me an answer that is really feasible. I sure in the hell don't want these violent people let loose in the US so they can do more harm. Maybe they'll blow-up the school your children attend.
Give me a viable answer to solve this problem AND protect our country and it's people.

Where and when does it end? What is the line between torturing the "enemy" and torturing American citizens? Who is/was accountable for making sure Americans aren't/weren't tortured by the CIA, Blackwater, etc? What if it were YOUR teenage child who was abducted by the CIA and tortured under suspicion of "terrorism"?
Torture is meant to terrorize the populace NOT THE ENEMY! Torture doesn't work. It yields NO WORTHWHILE INFORMATION! The individual who is being tortured will agree to ANYTHING, admit to ANYTHING, make up ANYTHING-just to make the torturing STOP!

Danged if you do, danged if you don't. How many of these were Taliban, and deserved every bit of it? And how many weren't? And if the ACLU is involved somehow, I would bet those tortured were as guilty as can be...when liberal "Human Rights" groups become involved, I'm skeptical- but yet there can be some truth to it, also.......

Death from interrogation is hard to separate from simple detainee death while in US custody. But one particular case stands out that seems to have fallen by the wayside — the murder of CIA “ghost” detainee named Manadel al-Jamadi, who was tortured to death by a CIA team at Abu Ghraib in 2003.

“Pictures of Abu Ghraib guards Charles Graner and Sabrina Harman posing with al-Jamadi’s dead body, the so-called Ice Man, were among the most notorious of the Abu Ghraib photographs published in April 2004,” Sifton notes. “A CIA officer named Mark Swanner and an interpreter led the team that interrogated al-Jamadi. Nine Navy personnel were also implicated. An autopsy conducted by the U.S. military five days after al-Jamadi’s death found that the cause: “blunt force injuries complicated by compromised respiration.”
