The UN investigators said photographic evidence - corroborated by testimony of former prisoners - showed detainees shackled, chained and hooded. Prisoners were beaten, stripped and shaved if they resisted, they said.

The report's findings were based on interviews with former detainees, public documents, media reports, lawyers and questions answered by the US government, which detailed the number of prisoners held but did not give their names or the status of charges against them.

Some of the interrogation techniques - particularly the use of dogs, exposure to extreme temperatures, sleep deprivation and prolonged isolation - caused extreme suffering.

"Such treatment amounts to torture, as it inflicts severe pain or suffering on the victims for the purpose of intimidation and/or punishment," the report said.

The UN experts who wrote the report had sought access to Guantánamo Bay since 2002. Three were invited last year, but refused in November after being told they could not interview detainees.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the UN report "clearly suffers from their unwillingness to take us up on our offer to go down to Guantánamo to observe first-hand the operations."

It's 8:38 am here and I plan on drinking at around 8pm tonight. I want to drink on an empty stomach so that I only need 3 drinks to get a good buzz. How many hours before drinking should I stop eating?

See the Politics section on this page:
http://www.conservapedia.com/Global_warming#Politics_of_Global_Warming

Surely, of all issues facing our society, this one should remain in the zone of political neutrality?

Yet why is it that the vast majority of people who oppose taking action against global warming, seem to be on the right of the political spectrum?

I am aware of the (rather short-sited and amoral) argument that to change anything in the economy could cost jobs and lead to an economic downturn. There may even be some truth in this argument in the immediate future.

However, the correct response to the "economic argument" should be to try to change the economy in order that it 'works with' these problems, should it not? To try to wish the problem away in order to be allowed to continue with an economic plan which was forged 20 years ago (in the Ragan years), seems rather short sited and stupid.

After all, the economy will only survive if we do.

On Fox News this morning Ron Paul was being interviewed. One question was about a new ad from Huckabee. Here's the story on the ad: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,317222,00.html
The question asked Ron Paul if he thought it was appropriate to use religion in politics. Senator Paul's response was to point at Huckabee (and in general at Christians) and said that facism would be wrapped in a cross. So Senator Paul is calling Christians Fascist.

Before you answer, please review definition of Facism:
Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and social interests subordinate to the interests of the state or party. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, racial, and religious attributes.
Considering the success of the Anti-Christian left, this term doesn't apply.

What do you think?

For example, when we give blood... the blood we see is red.

The syringe has that little device that sucks the blood through a vacuum, right? Then there shouldn't be any oxygen in the syringe... then the blood in the syringe should be blue...
