US releases "Al-Qaeda torture manual"

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0524072torture1.html

Yet more BULLSHIT from the * administration. They've sure been hyping up Al-Kayda an awful lot lately. Now we're supposed to accept this at face value from these crooks. Seems more likely a manual from Gitmo.

1. I'll bet AQ don't call it torture, though

I'll bet they call it "enhanced interrogation techniques". And if pressed they'll insist it's "authorized".

4. Who knows?

Maybe it's as simple as this: sociopaths share a fairly common world of materials to choose from when inflicting pain and death on others.

5. The CIA has a similar manual with detailed instructions.

You don't believe that? Do some research. It is on the Net.

6. I have no doubt

And I'm not saying this "found" manual isn't propaganda. I'm just allowing for the likelihood that given a similar set of tools, all sociopaths will use them in similar ways. Bush**/bin Laden, CIA/AQ...they're more alike than they'd ever admit...if they aren't in fact tools of each other.

8. No, someone crossed it out with a sharpie and wrote "al-Qaida" on top.

Took them a few tries to get the spelling right, however.
