ChuCK's Words of Wisdom

If you thought you were, you might have actually been. Problem being, if you were unaware if you were while you were, then knowing that you were in fact really that way is a moot point. Unless you knew you were the whole time, then you would be an ego-bag.

You hit him, no YOU hit him…

I have to say, I’m pretty mixed on the whole interrogation techniques used these days argument. It’s one of those deals where it is a necessary evil of our world. You need information, you go get information… just make sure you got the right guy… I also understand that as the United States we have to be the bigger man in it all and take the high road… but who would have EVER thought that the FBI and the CIA would be playing good cop bad cop on a public forum…

The review by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine is the most detailed account of the FBI's involvement with terrorism suspects, some of whom were subjected to waterboarding, an interrogation technique that simulates drowning. The report credits FBI agents with communicating their concerns to superiors and refusing to participate in abusive sessions. It says the controversial treatment of detainees by the military and U.S. intelligence officers persisted because of a view "at a very high level that this was a military situation and the military approach should prevail." The CIA has acknowledged using waterboarding.
