I Need a New BS-o-Meter
The old one pegged, overloaded and burned out when I read this little gem:
"They played hip-hop and rock music, very loud," Muhammad said. "I remember they played Meatloaf and Aerosmith over and over. I hated that. … When I became a Muslim, I had tried to get away from this. I'd canceled all the music out of my head and now they were forcing it back again."
Muhammad said women came to the house, naked or partially clothed, and were shown to him — an affront to devout Muslims.
"This mental torture was a lot worse then the physical torture," he said. "For they were now working on my brain. I think I came to several emotional breakdowns in this time."
An interrogator whom Muhammad nicknamed "Scarface" purportedly informed the Ethiopian he was being brainwashed."Scarface, the interrogator, told me what was going on. 'We're going to change your brain,'" according to the account.
One, if this is the best "brainwashing" they can come up with in Morocco (where he was supposedly spirited away to), They should lose their membership cards to the Torturers union.
Two, have you ever heard such a lame bunch of crap trying to be passed off as torture?
He also said the torturers cut all over his private parts with a scalpel. Now, there should be scars from that, right? Of course, there's no way to tell where or when they were inflicted, is there? But from the rest of the described "torture", I doubt the people abusing him could hold a scalpel without seriously harming themselves.
Whereupon we come back to the cartoonish worldview of the dedicated lefty: The US is both unstoppable evil incarnate with agencies that can run roughshod over the world and at the same time so woefully incompetent that those same agencies cannot tie their own shoes.
Like I said, the Bullshit meter pegged out on this one.

Funny how the lefties get in a lather over this “torture” but never seemed to say much about Saddam Hussein feeding people into woodchippers feet first.

This is torture like I’m King of Siam.
Man, they really need perspective.
