Bush will go down in history as the torture president. I hate that this country ever had a president who made the torture of human beings official government policy.
The School of the Americas, wherein the United States Military trained allied armies
state terror and torture, was founed in 1946
Vietnam Conflict, in which millions of Vietnamese were slaughtered in order to satisfy the theoretical fancies of American paranoids
Iranian coup, "Operation Ajax," occured in 1953
The number of foreign dictators supported directly by the United States, not even in secret, despite their affections for torture, mass murder, sand all other manners of human savagery and indignity is too long to list
"extraordinary rendition"
The use of black sites, CIA prisons, secret transfers, and torture date at least to the beginning of the cold war. Torture has long been the official policy
apart is only that it has been unabashed where others have been circumspect
