    The CIA tortured Rabbani for more than 540 days, according to the Senate torture report. The torture included a stint in a covert American black site in Afghanistan.

    Rabbani has described being held in complete darkness for long periods and being subjected to a medieval torture technique known as “strappado”: hanging someone by their bound arms and suddenly dropping them.

    I’d say anything to make that stop. Torture testimony is completely invalid. Bush was a sick fuck.

    Obama closed the facility upon taking office in 2009, but there are still 30 men detained for 9/11 related crimes with no path for resolution.
