This concerns me on a couple of levels. First Is the well known tactic of our lovely overlords of introducing barbaric behaviors against those they have demonized, i.e. those dirty vicious Arabs, and then when it suits them flip it as a normalized behavior to be used against the American public. If people remember the DHS listings of characteristics to look for and be suspicious of in a terrorist were things like: people who talk about the Constitution, or people who have Ron Paul bumper stickers, etc. The other odd misfit element is wondering what middle eastern country could possibly need to import interrogators to torture their prisoners? They have been at that for millennia. Nobody needs to teach them about the procedure. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but this whole thing doesn't smell right to me.

Agreed. And while it is tempting to descend into violent fantasies of torturing child molestors in the name of justice, I don't think it is ultimately good for our own humanity. I'm guilty of it myself. Especially after I've just read some harrowing account of what happened to a victim or something. But I definitely don't support institutionalized torture beyond what is necessary to make someone divulge info needed to save lives. And don't we have softer methods for that, like drugs? Anyway...it is odd. And I didn't know that about the DHS! That's CRAZY!

One i remember was the 2009 MIAC report: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/23/fusion-centers-expand-criteria-identify-militia-members.html There were actually others leaked to the alt media that were even more absurd than that. And my imagination gets really worked up thinking about what would be a just punishment for child molesters too. But that needs to be tempered with the reality of how dangerous it would be allowing that kind of power to be given to govt. They are already allotting themselves constitutional powers that don't exist based on reasons that are total fiction.

I'm in complete agreement. Very troubling stuff.
