...hasn't bet a nickel since 1989, Bruce Roberts spends a lot of time in casinos. He's rarely there alone, however. He usually has an escort walk him through--the better to ensure that he doesn't succumb to the sweet swish of the cards or the signature rattle of the dice. A onetime compulsive gambler, Roberts, 62, weathered his years of wagering better than many. He never lost his wife or his home--although he has refinanced the house nine times.

Why can’t we handle this Christian-like...
...really expected to believe that treating a detainee like a dog, depriving him of sleep and making him dance with a box over his head are going to lead to credible intelligence? I bet that most people, if treated in such a perverse manner for a prolonged period of time, would tell their interrogators what they wanted to hear. I find it significant that when Detainee 063 finally confessed to al-Qaeda involvement, he stated he was doing it "to get out of here." The interrogation techniques currently used by the U.S. on suspected terrorists appear unethical and outrageous...
