They were described in a painful report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, based on the accounts of hundreds of F.B.I. agents who saw American interrogators repeatedly mistreat prisoners in ways that the agents considered violations of American law and the Geneva Conventions. According to the report, some of the agents began keeping a “war crimes file” — until they were ordered to stop.

These were not random acts. It is clear from the inspector general’s report that this was organized behavior by both civilian and military interrogators following the specific orders of top officials. The report shows what happens when an American president, his secretary of defense, his Justice Department and other top officials corrupt American law to rationalize and authorize the abuse, humiliation and torture of prisoners:
 
I still can't get over that republican debate where Tancredo and Ghouliani were musing about getting all "Jack Bauer" on suspected terrorists, and much of the audience broke into cheers and applause.

I hold the Republicans largely responsible for it too.
 
BB I think the torture part on the Panama invasion is your piddly contribution to this thread.

Besides our govt did not officially condone torture then. That was a Bush administration change.

Didn't that really start with the Clinton Administration and his prisoner exchange plan where prisoners were sent back to the governments that had no problem with other than gentle treatment of prisoners? You know the ones I mean, the countries that the prisoners at Gitmo do not want to be returned.
 
Right...!
