I've read them.  Have you?  

And, too bad that the nearly everyone in the world agrees that what 
the US has done is torture.  These include such "left wingers" 
as General Colin Powell and General Petraeus.  

They have also stated that such tactics have made the US less safe, 
especially the US military.  It's hard to complain about the enemy's 
torture tactics when you yourself are employing such techniques.
