Andrew Sullivan brings us two torture related stories today.
One pulls on reporting by Glenn Greenwald, in which we find out Binyam Mohamed had his genitals sliced open as torture. If, for some reason, that image doesn’t nauseate you, imagine his name was Benjamin Moses (it is the Hebrew equivalent) and he was in Taliban custody. We surely would be up in arms.
Speaking of the Taliban, Andrew also tells us that the Taliban treat their prisoners better than Vice-President Cheney did.
Honestly, Cheney needs to be indicted for war crimes. He has destroyed the image of America for an entire generation, and our soldiers and diplomats will pay for it.
