Remember Bat Boy, the character who became the unofficial poster child of the Weekly World News?
According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's editorial cartoonist, he is now apparently "torturing" helpless, innocent Al Qaeda terrorists being detained in Guantanamo Bay ...
Meanwhile, the actual victims of Saddam's torture chambers had no comment ...For a dose of reality, here is a little reminder of what real torture is like:
Reporting for the Enemy - Media Won't Show Saddam's Torture
Mass Graves Testify To Saddam's Evil

I'm a little confused. Is it that its not so bad that we did it, cause they did it too? Which is torture, good or bad? Or simply excusable if we torture someone who tortured?
Or are you saying that because we torture, it'll prevent torture in the future? That I might almost beleive, if I had any plausable reason to blieve that it were true. But, all I see is a whole lot of torture, and I when I see my own country partaking in it, well, I kinda get upset. Not that it makes past torture any lest horrid, but damnit, we're better than that.
