Although, I support detention centers, with death penalty, U.S. military tribunals, I also support Amnesty International. I'm pro-choice, and a Democrat. Torture is something that is often used against the U.S. troops, and veterans though. This unbalanced report will lead to escalated violence against our troops, their families and veterans.
It's past time to bring in class-action, international law firms for the backlash (terrorism) that U.S. Marines and their orphaned/widowed families will now suffer, which is also due to lack of Congressional funding for prevention of IED-related injuries, e.g. armored vehicles, and for their injuries, in the line of duty.
This report also excludes the type of medical torture/genital, facial mutilations, repeated assaults, repeated gang rapes, starvation, and caging of our captured U.S. troops in prison spaces, half the size of a dark coffin for months. Also, I feel they'll need to reassess the psychologists who are supposed to approve these individuals, as those psychologists may well be the ones who helped mastermind and approved some of these tortuous strategies for obtaining intelligence.
The waterboarding detainee, who masterminded 9/11 probably had valuable intelligence, but would he have been willing to offer that, in exchange for an organic, fair-wage, mattress to sleep upon? I highly doubt he was willing to turn over any intelligence, voluntarily to the C.I.A. These detainees are more violent than "La Barbie," and was there credible (audio, visual camera surveillance, with both voice recognition and facial recognition software) evidence here?

On another note, but one just as solemn, it's time to remember to check all of the Toys For Tots bins again. Some donations are coming from outlaw motorcycle gangs, as usual. They may be dangerous to the U.S. Marines collecting and sorting through them. They may try to slip lead paint into the toy supplies everywhere. Maybe Toys 'R' Us can assist with donated, lead detection kits for the U.S. Marines.
Since U.S. Special Forces live nearby, and hopefully will always pretend to live with them, as a GLBT domestic partner, anything that could endanger their lives (e.g. a bomb) is going to require a U.S. military tribunal, with a death penalty. We can't soften our stance against terrorism, since it can lead to a nuclear, dirty bomb, or our hopefully, GLBT-inclusive, nuclear, military bases being targeted.
