David Rivkin on Torture

“I’m sure some abuse occurs.”
“Torture works.”

Coming from the save mind that believes
25 million dollars will net Osama bin Laden.

“Noncombatants have not the protections
of uniformed troops.”

poor countries need not apply

let’s remember all our wars
as we’ve never done before

secret from the soldier’s mothers
we gave them condemns but not enough
boys will be boys notching belts

torture works it breaks a man
who then embraces his child-self
in Gitmo they get fed thru stomach tubes

renditions to countries known to use torture

Where does your little boy-self David Rivkin
hide?
