Torture Can Kill
The story should have aroused the skeptics. Three men held at Guantanamo Bay were said to have committed suicide on the same night. Looking back to June 2006, it seems like it slipped in under the radar. The war in Iraq was going badly, and the blame game was being played.
It turns out that those three men might have been killed by American agents. The use of torture and outlaw facilities was semi common knowledge by 2006. The reactions were split along the predictable lines…those against the war were horrified, and those who supported the war supported the torture. If the truth had been known in 2006, it likely would not have changed anyone’s mind.
It is said that in war, truth is the first casualty. In World War W, this would seem to be the case.
