War Handwavium

(that we know of)

Raymond Azar, a 45-year-old Lebanese construction manager with a grade school education, is employed by Sima International, a Lebanon-based contractor that does work for the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also has the unlikely distinction of being the first target of a rendition carried out on the Obama watch.

And apparently, he was tortured in American custody.

I thought we all “learned our lesson” about torture? I thought we were never going to torture again? What about the international backlash that will endanger American lives?

Enough is enough. Release the photos. Prosecute the law breakers. Stop endangering American lives.
