The C.I.A. crucified a prisoner to death - is that in the handbook?

Hundreds of detainees have died in U.S. custody and that's only the ones we know about. Three died during C.I.A. interrogations. One of them froze to death chained naked to the floor overnight, and one was essentially crucified. They are described here in the New Yorker.

No criminal charges have ever been brought against any C.I.A. officer involved in
the torture program, despite the fact that at least three prisoners interrogated
by agency personnel died as the result of mistreatment. In the first case, an
unnamed detainee under C.I.A. supervision in Afghanistan froze to death after
having been chained, naked, to a concrete floor overnight. The body was buried in
an unmarked grave. In the second case, an Iraqi prisoner named Manadel al-Jamadi
died on November 4, 2003, while being interrogated by the C.I.A. at Abu Ghraib
prison, outside Baghdad. A forensic examiner found that he had essentially been
crucified; he died from asphyxiation after having been hung by his arms, in a
hood, and suffering broken ribs. Military pathologists classified the case a
homicide. A third prisoner died after an interrogation in which a C.I.A. officer
participated, though the officer evidently did not cause the death. (Several
other detainees have disappeared and remain unaccounted for, according to Human Rights Watch.)

This article describes other horrific abuses, some of them done to innocent men. Anybody still support allowing the government free reign to keep us safe, and annoyed at those pesky human rights groups like Human Rights Watch, the Red Cross, and the ACLU? God help us if those organizations didn't exist!
