They still make it, don't they?
From LegitGov.org:
Interrogations of Terror Suspect Included Hooding, "Truth Serums" 04 Dec 2006 ...Together with other documents filed late Friday, the images represent the latest and most aggressive sally by defense lawyers who declared this fall that charges against Jose Padilla should be dismissed for "outrageous government conduct," saying that he was mistreated and tortured during his years as an enemy combatant. Now lawyers for Mr. Padilla, 36, suggest that he is unfit to stand trial. They argue that he has been so damaged by his interrogations and prolonged isolation that he suffers post-traumatic stress disorder and is unable to assist in his own defense. His interrogations, they say, included hooding, stress positions, assaults, threats of imminent execution and the administration of "truth serums."
Hey, can we get some of that there truth serum for use at the White House, the Pentagon, and on Capitol Hill where they never met a truth they couldn't hide?
A great use might be for this week's "good conversation" with Robert Gates, a serial tell-power-what-power-wants-to-hear kinda guy. Gates is just what Bush and pals don't need: more echo.
He's told the Armed Services Committee that the US is not winning in Iraq (duh)--and that he welcomes ideas (impeach Bush and Cheney?--Dec 10 cometh)...
...Levin congratulated him on his candor. Seems the vial of truth serum is being passed around now...we'll see if anything worthwhile and reality-based comes from this performance at the Capitol Hill Theater.
