    If the ACLU is really champing at the bit for some torture photos, I can send them an 8x10 glossy of my brother-in-law telling me he should have been the starting quarterback on his 1992 high school football team.

    I'm a big bleeding-heart liberal, however I kind of don't want these photos to be released.

    From what I've heard, they are terrible, terrible images that would be best left out of sight.

    I say that hoping that whatever was going on in the photos has been stopped.

    @se7a7n7: Agreed. The kind of violence they could incite against U.S. interests abroad seems to outweigh the need that the photos be shown publicly.

    @Atilla the Bun: many people abroad don't need pictures to provide them evidence of US ruthlessness, since it usually in their own backyard. We aren't covering up these instances of torture for the sake of our interests abroad, but to save face.

    @jordos1: When pressed against the face and nose of a bound subject, Adam Lambert produces the intense feeling of imminent drowning. Repeated exposures make it almost impossible to endure.

    ACLU has a decent clandestine ops unit, but this is really more of a job for dentists.

    What? It was like one minute, and I can't edit. I meant to clarify that the wingnuts are the ones who mourned Novak, not the ACLU.

    Can't wait to hear how up in arms the wingnuts get about that horrible unpatriotic traitorous ACLU .... you know, the same people who mourned the death of Novak.

    No wonder the CIA's paying Blackwater to do everything important; their own personnel can't even hide from dirty hippies.

    Why are we are we protecting the rights of the criminals (the CIA agents)? What about the rights of the victims (the people wrongfully detained and tortured)?

    Oh, I know: we have to, because otherwise - the damn ACLU will be on our asses!
