We Know Torture is Bad, But We Just Can't Stop!

WASHINGTON - A civil liberties group is charging that military interrogators at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, some posing as FBI agents, humiliated and abused detainees, including inserting lit cigarettes in their ears.

Releasing e-mails obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) said Monday one detainee was wrapped in an Israeli flag and some were shackled hand and foot in fetal positions for 18 to 24 hours, forcing them to soil themselves.

You know what I bet? I bet it's just a few bad apples. I mean, I'm sure in a tightly supervised environment like Guantanamo nothing like this could ever happen as a matter of policy.
