One of the CIA's jet planes used to render purported terrorists to other countries--where information is extracted by any means necessary--made 10 trips to Uzbekistan. In a segment of CBS's 60 Minutes on these CIA torture missions (March 5), former British ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray told of the range of advanced techniques used by Uzbek interrogators:
"drowning and suffocation, rape was used . . . and also immersion of limbs in boiling liquid."
But it was much more than mere limb immersion.
Two nights later on ABC's World News Tonight, Craig Murray told of photos he received of an Uzbek interrogation that ended with the prisoner actually being boiled to death!
Murray, appalled, had protested to the British Foreign Office in a confidential memorandum leaked to and printed in the Financial Times on October 11 of last year:
"Uzbek officials are torturing prisoners to extract information [about reported terrorist operations], which is supplied to the U.S. and passed through its Central Intelligence Agency to the U.K., says Mr. Murray." (Emphasis added.)
Prime Minister Tony Blair quickly reacted to this undiplomatic whistle-blowing.
Craig Murray was removed as ambassador to Uzbekistan. (more)
Recondite shit eating country destroying NeoCon bastards DID THIS IN MY NAME.
I've joked in the past about wanting to see BushCo dragged from the White House in chains, but now it is imperative that we see that THESE TWISTED MORAL DEGENERATES PAY! Torturer in Chief Bush has to go to jail for life for this, as does his sleezeball puppetmaster Cheney and that immoral little ratfucker Rumsfeld. Bring on the World Court.
I am so utterly ashamed to be an American at this moment.
I'm going to Europe on business in 3 months and I can see now that I'm going to be spending my entire time there explaining how this was not my fault, that I didn't vote for this cabal of death dealing ghouls.
Dear ghod in wherever, what have we done?
