It is good you are angry enough to write about this issue, and it is good you wrote about it here in 'black and white' terms. People forget unpleasant facts quickly, which is why the mainstream media earlier this year were focussing on 'waterboarding', and then 'unreleased photographs' of prisoner abuse in Iraq, instead of the actual abuse, rape. murder and torture.

Your pastiche isn't funny to me, because it muddies important waters. You equate interrogators with abuse, for comedic effect admittedly, but it is a damaging stereotype that can only serve to increase the amount of torture in the world. There were decent, humane and professional interrogators employed by the US who are now unemployed, blacklisted for being decent. Meanwhile, except for eight junior soldiers, not one of the other torturers, politicians, military above the rank of major nor the companies responsible for the torturers has been punished. Quite the reverse. They are rolling in it.

Keiron, either you don't understand the issues and haven't done the research, which I doubt, or you are trying to encapsulate too much information into a too short satrical sketch, which is perfectly understandable. Cramming a complex issue into a cartoon is a high art. Either way, I want you to know that your pastiche is unintentionally ironic, and that that irony is closer to the spirit of your post, and to the truth.

There were good americans in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, including good interrogators. They are unemployed now, blacklisted. If your fake fund earns any money then I can tell you who to give it too. Meanwhile, apart from a few sorry flunkies the real perpertators of torure have profitted greatly. The misimpression your article gives is that these people have suffered for their crimes, and they haven't. Yet.
