Follow this link to the above titles Associated Press news story with the sub-headline Police beat reform protesters.

The investigation found Mortazavi pushed for keeping the prisoners in Kahrizak, a detention camp, instead of the official Evin prison in Tehran, although Evin prison said at the time it had room for the imprisoned protesters.

Set up as a temporary detention facility, Kahrizak did not fall under the same type of regulations and supervision as official prisons such as Evin. There were no family visits, or facilities to have such visits, and the site was not originally intended for use as a prison.

I see no parallels here between this story and anything that has been done by the U.S. government.

However, I am sure that some wacky, bleeding-heart liberal will make something of it.

The type of enhanced interrogation, military tribunals, and imprisonment in Gitmo that are advocated by Scott Brown have no similarity to what Iran did. Therefore, we have no fear that anything like this could ever happen here.

Maybe, just to be sure, we need to write laws detailing exactly who can and cannot be tortured. Which human beings deserve to be treated humanely and which can be beaten to death. We could even make a Constitutional amendment with the details.
