One word: SODOMIZED.
Khaled el-Masri, who was captured and tortured, was later released because -- are you ready for it? -- they realized that he wasn't involved in terrorism. One of the means of his torture was sodomy.
Let me rephrase that: Under George Bush and the Republican rush to secretly allow torture (thanks to John Yoo), the CIA felt it necessary and legal to stick objects into the butts of prisoners.
Could the same have occurred if, instead of Bush stealing the presidency, Gore had been sitting in the White House? Sure. But I'd still be disgusted and opposed to torture. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't know where the line in the sand is, you're no less evil than the people you're trying to catch or stop.
