This guy's perspective would shift, if HE was tortured, or even "just" abused for a while.

The report really made me curious about this stuff

[frankhardie]

 Wow, 40 million each for mitchell and jessen, I'll bet they laughed all the way to the bank.
I have never seen it myself, but I've often heard, 'what gos around - comes around'.
Perhaps they could visit this in the future? Yah, a couple of real low slimes.

[FranciasInternetti]

why are you torturing innocent civilians

[ultrasound]

this is why American psychology is a joke

I despise those who've never in their lives been 'in the arena, ' but who feel perfectly comfortable challenging the techniques used to arrest, detain, and interrogate criminals. The media is chock-full of these Monday morning quarterbacks, and it's disgusting. I used to be a democrat to the death, but no more. The left and its absurdly dangerous positions on immigration, CIA black sites, policing, and free speech have moved me to a right of center point of view. I'm centric, in general, but I lean to the right of center more every day, and it's because of entities like NBC, CNN, and MSNBC, and media like Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd, and Jim Accosta... who are nothing more than shills for the left, and they don't even try to hide their impartiality. They are driving the Trump re-election train and they're too stupid to know it, or if they do know it, they're too rebellious to care.
