One detainee was killed by the CIA, by being exposed naked to freezing cold temperatures overnight. Hey, this is America. We do this kind of thing now. Is it easier to understand why Bush wants an explicit torture exception for the CIA in the McCain Amendment? It's particularly ironic that Eastern European countries, recently freed from the horrors of communism, now acquiesce to a new prison system where torture takes place beyond the law. These days, though, it's run by the United States! Just for the record: when the president says he doesn't condone torture, he is lying. By that I mean: deliberately telling the American people something he knows is not the truth.
