How about sodomy? Is that something we consider unremarkable?

WHORES ON TERROR
Never mind the waterboarding, here's the sodomy

by Allan Uthman

"Yasser tearfully described that when he reached the top of the steps 'the party began.They started to put the [muzzle] of the rifle [and] the wood from the broom into [my anus]. They entered my privates from behind.' ...Yasser estimated that he was penetrated five or six times during this initial sodomy incident and saw blood 'all over my feet' through a small hole in the hood covering his eyes."

Waterboarding. It.s all we seem to discuss when comes to American torture. Whenever you see people discussing .enhanced interrogation. on your TV, chances are they.ll be throwing around the same tired arguments, all revoling around waterboarding. Why, of all the things we.ve done to our suspected (and not-so-suspected) terrorist detainees, is waterboarding the issue? Why confine the rapidly dwindling debate to that single technique? We.ve engaged in a lot of other practices that qualify universally as torture. Are sleep deprivation or .Palestinian hanging. not controversial enough? Is solitary confinement too mundane?
