We don't torture

Well, OK, we did, but really, it's not torture if nobody died.

Wait, what? They did?? How many dozens???

In all, 98 detainees have died while in US hands. Thirty-four homicides have been identified, with at least eight detainees — and as many as 12 — having been tortured to death, according to a 2006 Human Rights First report that underwrites the researcher’s posting. The causes of 48 more deaths remain uncertain.

OMG

Fuck!

And DOJ doesn't look like it's gonna do a fucking thing about it!

So I guess we're waiting to find out that the torturers actually ate the flesh of those that they killed before any charges are brought.

Of course, there's also the possibility that "Human Right First" is just pulling figures out of their ass. It has happened before.
