We're Going To Torture You...

...But please don't tell anyone about it.

Washington Post: U.S. Seeks Silence on CIA Prisons-
Court Is Asked to Bar Detainees From Talking About Interrogations

The Bush administration has told a federal judge that terrorism suspects held in secret CIA prisons should not be allowed to reveal details of the "alternative interrogation methods" that their captors used to get them to talk.

The government says in new court filings that those interrogation methods are now among the nation's most sensitive national security secrets and that their release -- even to the detainees' own attorneys -- "could reasonably be expected to cause extremely grave damage."...

Torture is fine for them. But exposing/discussing it- that to them is the only true crime. Because then the prisoners could train to... what? Possibly survive?

Have we ever had an administration this scared of basic accountability or checks and balances?
