Long New York Times story today about the "secret" US prison/interrogation facility in Baghdad. Suffice it to say, the abuse their was on par with (or exceeded) the abuse at Abu Ghraib.
It gets harder and harder to argue that there wasn't at least an unofficial sanction for this type of activity when it is found in multiple places in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Cuba, alleged to be in secret prisons in Poland, the White House claims we don't do it (but refuses to disclose to Congress what they did do), and argues that no law passed by Congress removes from the President the right to use whatever interrogation techniques are necessary for the national security.
Still depressing. Still going on.
