No, but we did have intel on both of them through other means and thanks to that, were able to finally track down the both of them.  Good thing too, because Saddam was a despot with a bunch of human rights violations.  He had a bunch of facilities where his cronies imprisoned and tort--

Oh wait.

No, do you? However, to be honest, which I have been, I don't consider this "in the habit" and I think that "authorities" is using a pretty big paint brush.

I don't either.  Which is why it can not be tolerated.  We can not allow the people that govern us to make a human being an unperson and then proceed to torture them.

This isn't a few incidents of rogue elements torturing a suspect without their superiors knowledge.  It's gone past being a habit.  The torture that's occurring in the USA is officially sanctioned at the highest levels.  If they can make it legal to do that to one person, then they can make it legal to do it to you too.
