Bush Approved Torture Techniques
FBI E-Mail Refers to Presidential Order Authorizing Inhumane Interrogation Techniques
... The June 2004 "Urgent Report" addressed to the FBI Director is heavily redacted. The legible portions of the document appear to describe an account given to the FBI?s Sacramento Field Office by an FBI agent who had "observed numerous physical abuse incidents of Iraqi civilian detainees," including "strangulation, beatings, [and] placement of lit cigarettes into the detainees ear openings."
On the plus side, there's nary a word about sticking cigarettes in detainees' eyes. Yessir, that certainly makes me proud to be an American.
