"This latest disclosure comes just months after revelations that the Obama administration relied on an Israeli high court ruling to justify targeted killings of American citizens without trial. The CIA’s torture techniques — which included water-boarding, sleep and sensory deprivation, sexual torture, threats to kill and rape loved ones, mock executions, electrocution and medically unnecessary 'rectal feeding' — were far more gruesome and pervasive than the agency let on."
The torture of innocent civilians is currently becoming legalized. The disturbing part is the strategies of what was (is) being done to innocent victims has become mainstream and out in the open, yet not many Americans seems to bat an eyelash, it's as if U.S. citizens have become numb/conditioned to "terrorist" blood. "Innocent till proven guilty" was never relevant or put into practice since these victims were never even given a fair trail to begin with. The worst part is, both the U.S. and Israel use the same arguments to justify the on-going human rights abuses.
