With A Very Serious Face, Hayden Says Shoving Food Up Butts Is Medical

Jake Tapper shows occasional signs of actually doing his job:

Former CIA director Michael Hayden on Thursday defended the agency’s use of rectal rehydration, calling it a “medical procedure.”

1. Sure it is

I am going to quote my favorite Brit here "If they are using rape for torture, we're already in hell."

3. Welcome to DU, winetourdriver!

Glad you're here. More company for miserable me. I'm just freakin' heartsick over this. I feel like I've been sucker-punched.

And YEAH, I saw the Abu Ghraib photos. YEAH, I've heard the accusations. YEAH, I've heard the excuses and bullshit. YEAH, I've read about this ever since the bush/cheney nightmare kicked this into high gear.

But it doesn't make these revelations now - any easier to stomach. It's like having an elderly relative who's going down long, slow, hard, and painful. You know the end is coming. You know nobody lives forever. You know their death will bring an end to their suffering. You know it's near. But still - when it actually comes, you're still at a loss. You're still knocked on your butt. You're still shoved off-balance.

Same here. Miserable - over what's happened to my country. It's just beyond discouraging sometimes.

2. Was it done by medical

personnel in a medical facility? Are they unaware that pine nuts and hummus aren't needed for rehydration - just water?

4. What he was really defending was a very bizare form of rape. Shut up Hayden, you like the rest of

them are guilty.

5. In that case, would he care to try it on himself? nt

6. War criminal, or "patriot" doing a "tough job"???

Don't be so sanctimonious!!!
