\nfrom 9\/11 to Abu Ghraib<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>. How come nobody talks about

\nspokesman claims it wasn’t torture. Hell, when so many Americans willingly subject
\nthemselves to Bizkit, RATM and Slim Shady for pleasure, there’s a certain logic to the claim. You
\nsay the prisoners were stripped, shackled and forced<\/I> to listen? Sounds kinky. Just a
\nbit of body discipline, the next step up from body-piercing.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
