Not that knowing the facts will change a liberals mind however.

Those who presume that they know what others know are typically wrong.
Not that not knowing this fact will change their mind however....
FYI I only missed one question in the quiz.
Here's some news for you and any others who seem to believe that there were no criminal acts by US military interrogators, There were, they were a result of the position taken by Gonzalez and others that there were no rules these interrogators must follow.
There are rules of conduct that must be adhered to, lest we become just ax culpable and despicable as those we battle.

Brutal interrogation in Iraq
Five detainees' deaths probed
By Miles Moffeit

Wednesday, May 19, 2004 -
Brutal interrogation techniques by U.S. military personnel are being investigated in connection with the deaths of at least five Iraqi prisoners in war-zone detention camps, Pentagon documents obtained by The Denver Post show.
The deaths include the killing in November of a high-level Iraqi general who was shoved into a sleeping bag and suffocated, according to the Pentagon report. The documents contradict an earlier Defense Department statement that said the general died "of natural causes" during an interrogation. Pentagon officials declined to comment on the new disclosure.
Another Iraqi military officer, records show, was asphyxiated after being gagged, his hands tied to the top of his cell door. Another detainee died "while undergoing stress technique interrogation," involving smothering and "chest compressions," according to the documents.
Details of the death investigations, involving at least four different detention facilities including the Abu Ghraib prison, provide the clearest view yet into war-zone interrogation rooms, where intelligence soldiers and other personnel have sometimes used lethal tactics to try to coax secrets from prisoners, including choking off detainees' airways. Other abusive strategies involve sitting on prisoners or bending them into uncomfortable positions, records show.
"Torture is the only thing you can call this," said a Pentagon source with knowledge of internal investigations into prisoner abuses. "There is a lot about our country's interrogation techniques that is very troubling. These are violations of military law."
