U.S. bans interrogation techniques.

Note the "As scandal grows" part. They didn't ban this abuse when they found out about it, as some Blog Sitters will tell you, they banned it "as scandal grows".

Tells us something, a lot, as a matter of fact.

AND, God knows how many Americans are being held and tortured under the "Patriot Act". One has to commit a felony to talk about anyone they know being held. They want that "Patriot Act" for a reason, and that's the reason.

And then they could be held, incommunicado, unrepresented, with no accountability.

We've already seen what happens when there isn't acountability.

It ain't American, it's just not American.
