I have heard that Obama and Panetta want to get rid of coerced interogation, waterboarding, Gitmo, and wiretapping, then impose the Army Field Manual on the CIA.
They want to get rid of all of the above but from what I’ve heard Obama is having second thoughts on gitmo. Apparently there really are bad people there.
What I don’t understand is why we are so worried about how we treat prisoners. Terrorists are NOT protected by the Geneva Convention as it only protects soldiers fighting under a defined and recognized nation’s flag. And we sure as hell know they don’t get information from prisoners by tickling and asking nicely.
