Didn't the Obama opponents demand exactly this after they released the numbers on torture? To show that the torture was at least worth it?

Obviously it was just so they could accuse him of betraying national secrets, and Obama fell for it. Sucker.

Fuck those murderous bastards.

If they didn't want to be tortured, they shouldn't have joined Al-Qaeda.

Many of 'em didn't, Chuckles.  We weren't particularly careful with who we banged up, if you recall.

The forum is dying.   :(
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Yes they were.

Everyone of them which I bagged or flexcuffed in Iraq were a bad guy.
