Remember the scene in Bridge on the River Kwai where Alec Guiness is confined to a small wooden crate where he almost dies of dehydration? The "sweat box" was one of the cruelest tortures used by the Japanese against military prisoners of war.
Well guess what? Taking a page from the torture manual of the pre-war Japanese Empire, our glorious leaders have started using similar tortures in Iraq. The US military have reinvented the "sweat box" and called them "segregation boxes". These nasty devices are small wooden crates used in Iraq to hold prisoners. Measuring 3 feet square and about 6 feet tall, these crates are disturbingly similar to the ones used in WWII.
The amazing creativity of our government in dregging into the dark ages to reinvent the Inquisition boggles the mind. After so much outrage over Abu Ghraib you would think this kind of crap would stop, but not on Bush's watch. These guys figure if it was good enough for Torquimada it's good enough for us. Now why was impeachment off the table Ms Pelosi?
