<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Let's assume the CIA has engaged in torture in the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are you suggesting that such is the case now?

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your simply insisting something is so because it's
"available on the web" is inadequate. There is a lot of BS on the
web. How can we be certain that the material you site does not fall into
that category if it exists at all?</FONT></DIV>
