<<One wonders whether CIA torture methods were "better" then...or more "sophisticated" today...>> Read about methods of torture during the Inquisition and in the Nazis camps, for example. You will be surprised to see a huge similarity between these methods and the CIA methods. Inhumanity is always inhumanity. No matter how you call it, OR what "good purposes" and speeches you hide it behind. "Remember, when you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you". Friedrich Nietzsche
