| Tales From Torture's Dark World |

| I thought this was a decent article until the last 4 paragraphs. For some reason I thought the barbarity that these mutts were responsible for would be listed along with the current numbers of survivors they have affected. Which is a more heinous act: Torturing thousands of Americans on a daily basis - families of 9/11 victims, families of those killed at the embassy and on the Cole, families of soldiers killed because of our response to 9/11 and having to clean up the world's messes ourselves - that or - Being made uncomfortable but still alive and well and hating America to the core and able to organize thousands upon thousands to fight us at every turn. It makes me want to puke. Maybe some of my liberal friends (whom I will be directing here) can put this into perspective. This stupidity is really getting to me. |

| #5 “Abu Zubaydah, Walid bin Attash, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed — these men almost certainly have blood on their hands.” “What we can say with certainty, in the wake of the Red Cross report, is that the United States tortured prisoners…” The professor almost certainly has no moral imperative and is most interested in selling books. What we can say with certainty is the man is a fraud. |

| #4 Did this change anyone's mind? Not mine. A journalism professor at Berkeley lacks credibility for me. |

| #3 NYT and a Journo Prof from Berkeley? I'm not even going to bother. |

| #2 Written by a full professor of journalism, UC - Berkeley. If that's how he's teaching them to write, no wonder the papers are going broke. Five pages of propaganda, excerpted from a much longer article? Why on earth would the reader pay a premium for that? |
