Dude, I'm going to get you and ten of your buddies and pull an Abu Gharib on ya'all for about a month and then we'll see if your fondest ambition at that point is bashing my skull in.

Get a clue . . . .
wow, you sound kind of shrill: you don't know me and yet you insult my intellect because I disagree with you.

I did not hear that interview, but, in general, Fresh Air is a puff piece show, as are most NPR events, news crafted to fit the message they want to convey. Regarding the interviewee, one can always find somebody who was on the inside with an axe to grind who will purport that we are doing everything wrong...usually it is sour grapes because they are no longer on the inside...

regarding Abu Gharib, your point is moot: even if what we wanted to do was bash your skull in after a month there doesn't mean that you were torturing us, just that you pissed us off. actually, if you let me pick the ten guys, it might be kind of fun to see what your best effort would be: I am getting kind of old, but who knows....

Look, the point is, I have been through SERE at Ft Bragg, and the stuff we did at Abu Gharib is no worse than what we do to our own troops. Hell, what I saw on the news about AG, is no worse than college fraternity initiation..

By the way, I don't listen to Hannity........I do listen to NPR, if for no other reason that the entertainment value of hearing all the little leftists frantically trying to denouce everything regarding GWOT....
