Are there not prisoners being detained without trial at Guantanamo bay, camp X-Ray, Abu Graib, and many other places?
Was there not a little something in the paper a while ago with photos showing various torture methods?
I'll hunt down some sources if you want, but I'm pretty sure all this was reported in every single newspaper and on every news program in the world.
I've already said to start at Human Rights Watch. Since you're too lazy to google it, the site is hrw.org
They have a separate section on torture and abuse. You'll find several articles pertaining to the US. If that's not enough, they have a links page. If that's still not enough, google: US + prisoner + torture. There's 2,470,000 pages for you to choose from. I'd list them all for you, but I wouldn't finish till 2250.
Where the hell have you been for the last two years, if you haven't heard about all this?
For Australian interest, particularly those in Melbourne, Jack Thomas is going to court today to hear the decision on whether or not the confession he made with a car battery attached to his nads after no sleep for five days will be admissable in court. I don't want to tell anyone else how they should feel about this, but if our government gets away with this, God help anyone who doesn't think as they are told to.
