Wolves have been howling for blood for nine months.

People have been leading these wolves to ‘the feds’ door for a while.

Now we have a dead federal worker who appears to be killed by a wolf.

at some point in time not crying wolf become irresponsible. I understand a caveat might need to be thrown out there, but let’s admit the facts as we know them, point to a wolf attack

They have to go pick some ACORNS since they don’t have any Presidents blow jobs to investigate

Surely, even those in the general population who are in denial that things done to these very bad men to extract info from them are basically ok given the situation, will have to go through some fancy confabulating to make it ok that this boy/teenager was put through this terrible ordeal–and could scarcely be expected to deliver any kind of truth afterwards anyway.

“According to Judge Stephen Henley, the U.S. Army colonel who ruled on Jawad’s military commission case, Jawad was “moved from cell to cell 112 times from 7 May 2004 to 20 May 2004, on average of about once every three hours.” Jawad was shackled but not interrogated; “the scheme was calculated to profoundly disrupt his mental senses.”’

(I know, I know, the intent was to produce “actionable intelligence” and not the truth, but still. . . }

His lawyer is wrong about him being in prison now if the pilot hadn’t shown up, though. He would have been transferred to torture – GITMO or more likely a black site, since he had “confessed” to having a role in the 9/11 attacks. And he would have “given up” *information* too.

What happened with Higazy should have been something really taken to heart within DOJ – showing what was going to happen if we used rage instead of reason. Instead, it was a sign of things to come to anyone paying attention. No remorse, no concern – no one at DOJ worried in the least about coercing false confessions about something so important. Instead, an internal investigation by DOJ that ended up with Comey, who was USA at the time, smarming about what a great job DOJ did in the Higazy interrogations. One of the paver stones on the road to hell.

BTW, does anyone know if he was wearing a census ID badge. The man who came to confirm us was wearing a large one on a cord around his neck.

Obama could, imvho, make the case that Iran – having broken trust with the rest of the World – must now submit to the Complete Nuclear Regulatory Regime, or be officially branded a Rogue State.

Documents Suggest Detainee Abuses by Defense Department

New documents obtained by TWI related to the case of Mohammed Jawad, an adolescent tortured by Afghan police and then abused again by U.S. interrogators, suggest that not only certain CIA interrogations, but of interrogations by the Department of Defense demand a broader investigation as well.

Last month, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that he would investigate only CIA interrogations that appeared to have violated the agency’s rules and guidance from the Department of Justice. The Jawad case, however, reveals that U.S. military interrogations also violated well-established laws and appear to have violated the Justice Department’s legal guidelines as well. The newly-obtained documents also reveal that the Department of Defense repeatedly failed to follow up on complaints by Jawad’s lawyers that its officers were breaking the law…

…A military judge in Jawad’s case excluded his “confessions” in part on the grounds that he endured 14 days straight of sleep deprivation (by means of what came to be known as the “frequent flyer” program), which may well have amounted to torture. Justice Department memos approved up to 96 hours of sleep deprivation, although some make reference to 180 hours, which would be 11 days. But 14 days exceeds the guidelines of all of the legal memos regarding interrogations that have been revealed so far.

According to Judge Stephen Henley, the U.S. Army colonel who ruled on Jawad’s military commission case, Jawad was “moved from cell to cell 112 times from 7 May 2004 to 20 May 2004, on average of about once every three hours.” Jawad was shackled but not interrogated; “the scheme was calculated to profoundly disrupt his mental senses…”

Well worth the whole read!
