I was trying to find a way to type out that I’m screaming, but I didn’t think “AHHHHH” would work too well. So look for yourself. The Bush Clan is arguing that detainees can’t talk to lawyers for the famous “national security” reason.

In recently filed court documents, the Justice Department said those methods, along with the locations of the CIA’s network of prisons, are among the nation’s most sensitive secrets. Prisoners who spent time in those prisons should not be allowed to disclose that information, even to a lawyer, the government said.

“Improper disclosure of other operational details, such as interrogation methods, could also enable terrorist organizations and operatives to adapt their training to counter such methods, thereby obstructing the CIA’s ability to obtain vital intelligence that could disrupt future planned terrorist attacks,” the Justice Department wrote.

Okay, so let’s think about this. Prisoners aren’t allowed to discuss what happens to them in the prisons… with ANYONE. So what’s the safeguard against abusive or illegal treatment? We’ve basically created a house where the children aren’t allowed to say if their parents are beating them, so we can only go by the parents’ word.

I’m going to say this outright: bullshit that exposing our tactics could hurt anything. If the terrorists know they’re going to be beaten with chains and waterboarded, what the hell are they going to do in order to adapt? Breed their children with hard shells and gills? There’s no way to “adapt” to torture.

This makes me sick. I have to stop writing.
