Goons Gone Wild

With the CIA destroying video tapes of questionable interrogations and the Defense Department stock piling their own brand of snuff films, questions are being raised.
Pentagon Cites Tapes Showing Interrogations - New York Times

The Defense Department is conducting an extensive review of the videotaping of interrogations at military facilities from Iraq to Guantanamo Bay, and so far it has identified nearly 50 tapes, including one that showed what a military spokesman described as the forcible gagging of a terrorism suspect...

The review was intended in part to establish clearer rules for any videotaping of interrogations, Defense officials said.
I guess the problem isn't that they are torturing people, it's that they are filming the torture of people. We need clearer rules so that interrogators know to turn the camera off before the jumper cables come out.

Or we could just not torture. But there I go again with simple solutions. I'm so silly.
