http://interrogationdiaries.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
An anthropologist's take on torture and interrogation in the Global War on Terrorism. Saturday, October 27, 2007. This comment came in last night and set off a chain of thoughts, which I'll lay out in mishmash fashion below:. The problem with Provance is that he's a fraud. He only became a "whistleblower" after MG Fay threatened him for not speaking out earlier! The entire basis for his story is a lie coupled with the fact that he's was an incompetent Soldier shuffled from job to job.". I do think it's p...
