No they did it to embarrass the US. They had themselves tortured so they could make you look bad.
Heh. Must be lying then. You know about them damn furriners. Even the ones chosen to work for the FBI are fuckin’ liers. Well, they are when they say things you don’t like, anyways.
Have you considered that Contrapuntal may have been engaged in whooshing behavior?
Full Quote, bolding mine:
The truly bizzare part of this whole story is that we don’t use torture. (It’s a FACT)** I know we don’t because my Vice President told me so. **This must be some kind of weird Muslim bonding ritual or something. Who knows what the fuck those nutjobs do for entertainment. What with not having American Idol to watch and stuff.
I ducked : Whoosh!
Ya think? 
Honestly - why didn’t they just take the Israeli flag of prisoner X and give it to prisoner Y who was shivering with cold? He could have used it as a blanket - and you would have solved two problems at once.
If these people aren’t willing to help themselves I have no sympathy for them.

This is what happens when you drop acid and watch “The Wizard of Oz” on DVD.
