One dead US soldier today ...

... otherwise if there were none, we would have a lot of explaining to do, that is, wouldn't we look a bit silly using Soviet-era facilities for the interrogation of off the books war prisioners?

Excerpted from the :

The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement ... the arrangement has been increasingly debated within the CIA, where considerable concern lingers about the legality, morality and practicality of holding even unrepentant terrorists in such isolation and secrecy, perhaps for the duration of their lives. Mid-level and senior CIA officers began arguing two years ago that the system was unsustainable and diverted the agency from its unique espionage mission....

When we experience at least one dead soldier a day, we get to showcase the goodness of our democracy and extra-interrogate our enemy. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

I thank God that we have good we-have-the-moral-ground repub leaders that refuse to be like those nasty publicans.
