The United States Tortures Prisoners

Not new “News” and certainly front and center since Gina Haspel, who has been proven to have run a CIA Torture Site in Thailand, still managed to get approved as DCI.

It was a great surprise to me and I’m sure many others that it ended so suddenly and inconclusively. Or maybe not. What we hear now from “sources close to the investigation” is that A.G.
