So. Ayiekie, just wondering:
In your opinion:
Holocaust, fact or Fiction?
Marquis de Sade, boxers or briefs?
If I posted a thread about the sky being blue, would you turn the discussion to your pet rant about the ALPHABETSOUPGETYOURTINFOILHATSON! and the gloobleflarg chambers hidden in the cogs and gears of the Gnomes of Zurich's clocktower?
I am not denying the possiblity of the CIA having done dodgy things, but you seem to be painting with a very broad brush. Tarring, say, the Girl Scouts of America as torturemongers, on par with Mengele and the aforementioned de Sade, simply because of Abu Ghraib and the girls being pseudomilitary Americans? Just as irresponsible as "W" has been accused of being. (Wrongly or rightly, I leave to History to judge.)

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
