Film: Torture chambers were sideshow for military brass

[Hepburn]

Documentary: Military brass frequently viewed hooded, shackled detainees

I was kidnapped; abducted, forced imprisoned, tortured, threatened with further torture, without charge. Without trial.

Even many soldiers had said to me afterwards...if you weren't a terrorist when you came in here, by the time you leave, I'm sure you would be because of the way you've been treated.

--Bagram detainee Moazzam Begg

Flying in the face of statements members of the Bush Administration have made denying the use, and advocacy, of torture in their war effort, evidence of brutal treatment of captives continues to accumulate.

PBS' Bill Moyers delves into Oscar-nominated documentary "Taxi to the Dark Side," highlighting an Afghan taxi driver who was detained and beaten to death by American forces.

" Rumsfeld's office called our office frequently," adds Pfc. Damien Corsetti. Very high commanders would want to be kept up to date, on a daily basis, on certain prisoners there."

"The brass knew," Corsetti continues. "They saw 'em shackled. They saw 'em hooded, and they said 'Right on. Y'all are doin' a great job.'"

If there is a hell...those responsible for these atrocities should rot there for eternity.

1. Don Rumsfeld bought a house in MD

The house was owned "in the day" by a man who tortured slaves to bring them into line.

I read this when Cheney was buying his second home in the same neighborhood.

I hope his ghosts haunt him real good, but he probably likes it.

2. My gawd....

...these people ~~ and I use the term loosely ~~ are beyond disgusting! Hope the ghosts do exactly as you said!

3. Next president needs to clean house

This kind of human scum deserves to be behind bars. Not in positions of authority.

4. Totally agree.

There is nothing entertaining about torture. It is immoral as all hell and to watch and cheer it on??? Seems as perverted as child rape to me.
