So, Bush's love of torture leads to the erasing of personality? Bush and his cohorts are more than perverted:
Glenn Greenwald:
" Today, The New York Times describes the apparently jarring video showing a completely dehumanized Padilla being transported from his black hole to a dentist visit. The article includes an assessment from a psychologist describing how Padilla's humanity has basically been extinguished by his treatment."

"But if the Bush administration had its way, Padilla would still be languishing in solitary confinement -- prohibited from any contact with the outside world, including lawyers -- and detained without any charges at all. Bush officials did not voluntarily indict him and transfer him to the judicial system because they suddenly woke up one day and realized that American citizens shouldn't be imprisoned for years and years without due process. To the contrary, they still believe they have the power to detain U.S. citizens in that manner."
Our government tries to dismiss appeals involving a man held in isolation for 4 years.
Abu Ghraib and other photos to remind us what was done in our name for some unknown purpose.
The world is watching us.
Update 12/5:
