    I couldnt agree more. Why should the US abuse prisoners behind close doors, when others are able to practice barbaric practices while bathed in the sympathy of the worlds press. The US needs to adopt a policy of hanging bodies of captives from bridges, releasing good quality videos of their beheadings, and just more interesting forms of abuse in general. It needs to be made clear that naked pyramids, barking dogs, and sleep deprivation isnt the worst that might happen to you when you attempt to kill US citizens. (but if you try to join a college fraternity you can expect those activities along with some butt-chugs and the consumption of vast quantities of alcohol or goldfish. i hear the abu ghraib hazing is all the rage)

    Honestly, if they are gonna torture prisoners in my name, I wish they would be more mature about it ...
