...plausible intel. An interrogator insists that nothing useful could be obtained by the often sexually charged ?techniques? employed in a prison that was a sordid, antique, ill-situated (it was almost daily under mortar fire), ill-equipped and ill-supplied. He also - very tellingly - observes that when the truth about Abu-Ghraib came out, no one above the rank of Master Sergeant was ever successfully prosecuted for any of the obviously illegal activities that went on in the prison...
...bent over backward to create some religious Americana that has a special place in the Pope's heart. We're plain talkers, not afraid to wade into deeply divisive theological and moral questions and yet always cognizant of our spiritual grounding harking back to this country's origins.

...alive into furnaces, and the heads of little toddlers be smashed with butts of guns or be shoved into sacks and gassed to death ... It sounds like a fairy tale. Those who haven't seen this would never believe it. But it's not a legend; it's the truth. Or the time when they beat an old man until he became unconscious, because he didn't cross the street properly. This is already absurd; it's nothing, as long as there won't be Auschwitz ... and a green card ... The end ... When will it come...
