Stalin, America's Mouallim in Torture
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us:
With virtually no experience in interrogations, the C.I.A. had constructed its program in a few harried months by consulting Egyptian and Saudi intelligence officials and copying Soviet interrogation methods long used in training American servicemen to withstand capture.
So, the US decided to copy the Sons of Stalin in their approach to winning over the Islamic world and fighting terror. It is grotesque what the current American administration has done to the Americans' reputation, and more grotesque that the Right Bolsheviks turned to the Left Bolsheviks for lessons. Afghanistan of the Soviets and Algeria of the French evidently taught no lessons.

They should copy the poster art instead. I used to have that one for my desktop background.
