Very real sins of torturing human beings

Torture

John Cory, Truthout: "Harsh interrogation techniques, coercive tactics, enhanced techniques - These are the rebranding tools for torture. In order to avoid turning our eyes away or burying our heads in the sand, we grab politically acceptable words and terms to diminish the sting and shame of actual torture, so we can brag about being a moral society open to the discussion of stressful questioning of enemy combatants. Sterile words remove us from the very real sins of torturing human beings."

Holder Won't Selectively Release Terror Memos

Devlin Barrett, The Associated Press: "Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress on Thursday he won't play 'hide and seek' with secret memos about harsh interrogations of terror suspects and their effectiveness. In testimony before the House Appropriations Committee, Holder said he's willing to release as much information as possible about the interrogations."

Shailagh Murray and Paul Kane, The Washington Post: "President Obama rebuffed calls for a commission to investigate alleged abuses under the Bush administration in fighting terrorism, telling congressional leaders at a White House meeting yesterday that he wants to look forward instead of litigating the past."
