I once heard Ron Paul call America “her”, the only time he has ever made me cringe.

Reply to cowbotTy for the ‘clean break’ with comments. Listeners might not have realized how badly the hashemite kingdom in Iraq idea worked-out, and how closely US policy tracked the PNAC plan.

Reply to MikeLHe was right about that, I think. Morever, they don’t want to read any of his stuff. Bad.
Of course poking holes in captive’s faces is utterly sick and sadistic; on the other hand, as far as torture goes, sticking wires through ppl’s skin and sewing their lips together isn’t the worst thing in the world.
Reply to cowbotLets use this as a photographic testament to what the neocons, yoo’s, addingtons et al policies really mean at the human level. Spread it around…
“sticking wires through ppl’s skin and sewing their lips together isn’t the worst thing in the world.”
Reply to paul bassoh on the contrary more so than water boarding or any other technique this seem to be the objectification of a human being.
and one has to keep in mind that if they are doing something so “visible” you can only what they must have been doing to this guy for some one to stand up and say
“hmm these approved torture techniques are’nt really doing it for me.. i know lets wire his jaw shut.”
and one more think why is he wearing a hat?
and what other body parts might have wires going threw them. i can think of a few.
all though it makes you wonder how much info you can get out of some one with there mouth wired shut
Ok, I’ll hazard the contrary opinion here. I think that photo is a fraud. That guy does not look like he’s been through hell, like he would if he really did have somebody forcing pins into his skin. Where’s the blood and bruises he would sustain from such treatment? Why do his clothes, including that cap, look so clean? More likely this guy is some Bay Area d. bag with a face full of studs and rings, who thought he’d pull a funny on somebody.
Reply to MikeLNah, that photo is a fake, guys.
