Guantanamo

“My view is, we ought to double Guantanamo”

Thank you Mitt Romney for that jewel of wisdom. So basically McCain is the only major Republican candidate against American use of torture. Oh, Rudy and Romney can say they want "enhanced interrogation techniques" but what does that actually mean? Here are six examples of identified enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA. The first three aren't too bad, but they get worse fast.

1. The Attention Grab: The interrogator forcefully grabs the shirt front of the prisoner and shakes him.
2. Attention Slap: An open-handed slap aimed at causing pain and triggering fear.
3. The Belly Slap: A hard open-handed slap to the stomach. The aim is to cause pain, but not internal injury. Doctors consulted advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage.
