That's true. I can't tell you how much "enhanced interrogation" takes place, but since the coverage of Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghaib, I'm certainly more aware of the possibilities. That's what's so frightening.
All in all, every American privy the frequency of unfair/inhumane interrogation/imprisonment as it is knows the dangerous potential of this bill. Based on some of the articles I've read about the prison system (as well as a few firsthand accounts from a friend who used to work in one), I wouldn't be surprised to learn torture is already being committed on American soil. I feel like this bill, in it's vagueness, almost guarantees some ignominious treatment towards suspected terrorists.
