The highlights include: (1) mock executions; (2) threatened rape of family members; (3) threatened murder of children; (4) kicking and beating a detainee with a metal flashlight to death; (5) threatening naked hooded detainees with power drills; (6) blowing cigar smoke in detainees' faces until they got sick; (7) waterboarding with massive volumes of water far beyond what OLC authorized (to make it "poignant"); (8) stress positions that nearly caused shoulder dislocations; (9) scraping detainees with stiff brushes; (10) choking a detainee with one's bare hands until they nearly pass out; (11) subjecting detainees to extremely cold temperatures and water dousing; (12) "hard takedowns" (sometimes in diapers); and (13) beating detainees with butts of rifles (followed by kicking them).
See here (with further links). As Glenn Greenwald et al. notes, the ACLU is to thank for bringing out such things, the report on the lawyers (like Yoo) is still held back, and limits on the prosecution is nauseating. I disagree the path is worse than nothing, since I still think it might lead to more that can affect higher-ups. I denounced the CYA of Yoo by his colleagues here. [Contra] And, let's also look at the glass half full.
But, some half-assed investigation (which took much gnashing of the teeth to get; pathetic!) that takes as a given perversion of the law (don't worry, we find it horrid ... the next administration can do the same thing, and we'll think that too, so sad) is obviously not enough. What more do you want to show this? What bloody else? This also has a "chicken and egg" tendency -- many want a complete investigation; putting that aside, having our Justice Department do something like this promotes as legitimate such partial justice. [Update: Eugene Robinson hits it. Nice to see the paper's op-ed crew giving space usually dominated by the likes of Charles Krauthammer and other morons.]
Again, you might want to re-title that campaign bio of yours. Someone might sue you for false advertising.
