The interrogation program did produce useful results, Brennan said, including information leading to the raid that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.
And there's a fuckload of evidence in the reports that go against this one, unsubstantiated soundbite from Brennan -namely that pretty much ALL intelligence for this raid was achieved outside of this program.
But of course, specific facts mean less than nothing to you. You will distort reality by twisting them as you see fit, emphasizing and de-emphasizing whatever suits your agenda, in the most intellectually dishonest way possible. I've never seen you once on this forum admit you were wrong about anything, even when your ridiculous and sensational claims were shown to be nothing but a mountain of bigoted bullshit. I don't expect you to change now.
I don't really see the fuss about this, our government degrades and humiliates people any time they want to travel. Why would anyone protest this any louder than that?
If that is posted in jest then I apologize for the following. If you do actually support all of those things then you can't possible support anything following this statement. All of those things have been proven throughout human history to never work. Not at all.

If anyone is really concerned that the lack of nudity neutralises the message about the degradation of the human at immigration, you're much better served seeing the point directly and complaining about the TSA...
I fully agree with your statement. People should spend less time worrying about the Kardashians' anatomy and more about why they are violated needlessly when they board a plane. If you can connect a few dots you will find the official narrative to be totally ridiculous. While airport TSAs routinely grope and strip search 3-year old kids and grandmas, AIRMAIL parcels are NEVER inspected. It's illegal for privacy reasons. It is far easier to set up a bomb in a box stamped Airmail than it is to train a suicide bomber, but it’s never done. Here's why the TSAs exist:
It’s been quite the year at Apple for fiascos, fracas and debacles. Perhaps next year, Apple will enter the eye of the storm, and they will be able to double down on their core.
Yup, I heard they can't shift the iPhone6/6+ for love or money.
I'm glad to hear that Apple came to their senses on this app approval. It seems like with some extra pushing that they usually do. The nudity in the game is not pornographic and it's definitely relevant to the message that the game contains.
It shouldn't even matter if it's pornographic, they have a category for that in the Mac App Store:
"Frequent/Intense Sexual Content or Nudity Frequent/Intense Mature/Suggestive Themes
Infrequent/Mild Horror/Fear Themes
Frequent/Intense Alcohol, Tobacco, or Drug Use or References
Frequent/Intense Simulated Gambling
Frequent/Intense Realistic Violence
Frequent/Intense Profanity or Crude Humor
Infrequent/Mild Cartoon or Fantasy Violence"
That game has the following scene in it among others (NSFW):
It is optional in that game but still, if they have a category for this type of content and don't want kids to see it then they can make a special 18+ area of the App Store. This area of the store would be hidden by default, which discourages developers putting adult content in their games if they want broad visibility. You have to be over 18 to own a credit card so the App Store would know which iTunes account owns the card. The person would then have to ask Apple to unlock adult content for them, which would be optionally password protected so that if they shared an iTunes account, trying to install an adult themed app would require the passcode.

Thanks to the ESRB, you’ll wind up with things like this in completely innocuous games. They’ve simultaneously dictatorialized gaming ratings and diluted movie ratings. Children are swearing in movies these days. That’s just not acceptable. Twenty years ago, throwing poodles out a window in a comedy (no impact seen) netted a PG-13.
And I know why they do it, too; it’s that “video games cause mass shootings” garbage.
Immigration has become a hot potato across the pond here in Great Britain, and I'm delighted to say that Nigel Farage slaughtered the cretinous Russell Brand yesterday in Question Time over that issue.
For those in the dark: our Labour government had deliberately let immigration run wild for many years, and, finally, someone is standing up to it and proposing to control it.
I played this 3 times today and my family keeps dying. The third time, I made it to day 7, not receiving one citation and my family still died and the game ended. I don't get it.
Also, this game could break up the monotony by randomizing the characters.
It is torture. We defined it that way in an International Treaty, which was passed by the US Senate and signed by President Reagan. Yes. Reagan.
Guess he wasn't conservative enough for you.
Yes, but in certain cases (e.g., WAR!) where lives and the in the end it may save many more lives are the cost of not using harsh interrogation technique matters.
When is the last time our nation (US) was involved in a war, civli unrest, police action or whatever PC name you want to call it that our enemy did not use these techniques or I dare say much more violent? Regardless if you think torture works, it is something that those in our intelligence and clandestine forces have been taught about. Not so much how to perform, but the things you can do to resist breaking. The bottom line they are all taught tough is It is not a question of if a subject will break, only when they break.

Pot calling the kettle black? Calm yourself, there is room for more than one point of view - either side you believe is from filtered sources typically with a political agenda. I think you need a chill pill.

The CIA admitted no such thing. You are ignorant.

Leaving the EU will be the next step.
Nigel Farage is racist scum.
I’ve little knowledge of the intricacies of British politics, but what makes him racist?
Sorry for your loss. ????
"Racist" is the trendy insult du jour these days.
He is not really racist he just appeals to the retarded part of the population who fear 'the darkies' and Johnny foreigner.
