People say so much about US interrogation tecniques, well here it is in action. Listen, watch and learn how “terrible” we are. First ever released footage of an interrogation at GITMO. Hamdan was captured in southern Afghanistan on November 24, 2001. According to documents obtained by the Associated Press, he was captured in a car with four other alleged al-Qaeda associates, including Osama bin laden’s son-in-law, three of whom were killed in a firefight with Afghan forces. Hamdan and the other surviving associate in the car were later turned over to U.S. forces. He was released January 8, 2009 to live with his family in Sana.

And then the results by demographic…kinda embarrassing…
This does not inspire my confidence in the direction our country is headed.

Sometimes Truth is Stranger than Fiction
Sometimes, capturing a Taliban commander requires vast resources and complex operations. Last week in eastern Afghanistan, it required neither.
Mohammad Ashan, a mid-level Taliban commander in Paktika province, strolled toward a police checkpoint in the district of Sar Howza with a wanted poster bearing his own face. He demanded the finder’s fee referenced on the poster: $100.
Really? I mean it’s not like they are the sharpest tools in the shed but come on…
