Bush Authorized the Use of Insects on Prisoners, Banging Prisoners' Heads Against the Wall
Torture memos just declassified today show that the Bush administration authorized placing prisoners in confinement boxes with insects and "walling", which means banging their heads against the wall.
You can read the memos themselves here.
Remember that all Bush administration officials - including Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, and Justice department lawyers - who authorized, promoted or even failed to stop the torture program are guilty of war crimes.
And remember that all of the top experts on interrogation say that torture doesn't work.
