Oh Jesus Fucking Christ, please don't tell me Harold and Kumar 2 was anywhere near truth,
Third, the Nelly account shows that health professionals are right in the thick of the torture and abuse of the prisoners—suggesting a systematic collapse of professional ethics driven by the Pentagon itself. He describes body searches undertaken for no legitimate security purpose, simply to sexually invade and humiliate the prisoners. This was a standardized Bush Administration tactic–the importance of which became apparent to me when I participated in some Capitol Hill negotiations with White House representatives relating to legislation creating criminal law accountability for contractors. The Bush White House vehemently objected to provisions of the law dealing with rape by instrumentality. When House negotiators pressed to know why, they were met first with silence and then an embarrassed acknowledgement that a key part of the Bush program included invasion of the bodies of prisoners in a way that might be deemed rape by instrumentality under existing federal and state criminal statutes. While these techniques have long been known, the role of health care professionals in implementing them is shocking.
Apparently, needless ass-searches might be deemed rape by instrument, just as the Bush Administration's policy regarding Gitmo detainees might be deemed torture, just as Republicans who defend these anal adventures by citing a television character played by Kiefer Sutherland might be fucking douche ignoramuses.

This is, according to you, vital to the national security interests of the United States: "...invasion of the bodies of prisoners in a way that might be deemed rape by instrumentality under existing federal and state criminal statutes." Oooh! I agree! Can I join your club, pleeez?
