Saddam slips in the shower and we worry about him getting hurt in the custody of Americans (according to Gentleman's Quarterly). OK. Makes sense to me. But some guy with a middle easternish name who hasn't filled mass graves to capacity in Gitmo is getting water-boarded because he might have known about a guy who was the eighth brother-in-law twice removed in a possible plot to harm americans... or europeans... we're not sure. But we're gonna keep him just in case. Shouldn't this be the other way around, logically speaking?
Personally, I'm not in favor of torturing anyone. I believe in the Geneva Convention, and the security it provides (and has provided) our military. Although I didn't realize that being party to the Convention required us to furnish him cheesy snack treats:
AP: "For a time his favorite food was Cheetos, and when those ran out, Saddam would 'get grumpy,' the story says. One day the guards substituted Doritos corn chips, and Saddam forgot about Cheetos."
I understand Britney Spears went through the same exact thing.
