Oh, really? You honestly think he's worse than Saddam Hussein

Given his attitude towards torture, I'd say they're about the same.

Is there some code or rule someplace that requires anti-Bush tirades to
be
ignorant and stupid? To compare any approved Bush "torture" of which
includes sleep deprivation, cold rooms , loud music, maybe water boarding
(harmless but scary)....

Dilawar's hands were cuffed behind his back and chained to the ceiling.
his feet were shackeled to the floor. He was struck in the legs until
the
muscles were pulverized, damaged beyond recovery. His shoulders were
dislocated. He was denied food and water. After four days he died,
still hanging from the ceiling.

At his trial, Willie Brand described DIlawar's treatment as
"sleep deprivation."

Yes, OP's tirade was ignorant and stupid. So was your reply.



Source?

Brand described Diliwar's (also spelt Dilawar) treatment as
"sleep deprivation" in an incredibly sympathetic interview on
60 Minures that aired March 5, 2006. A brief summary is he

A transcript can be purchased from CBS.

That his treatment was charaterized as sleep deprivation by the defense
at
Brand's trial was reported in the press at the time of his
court-martial.

But Brand's statments cannot be reconciled with the autopsy:
