The CIA has received heavy criticism lately from the United States government. The US Government has a problem with the way the origination gains it's information, the same information that has protected and aided this country for years. The CIA has notoriously been known for their interrogation techniques. These techniques are considered brilliant to some, but strenuous torture to others. The most popular technique the CIA preforms is "Water Boarding." Water Boarding takes place when the person being interrogated is laid on the ground, face up. A black plastic bag is placed over the corespondents head, and a hole is poked through the mouth. At this point water is poured on the prisoners face, exiting through the poked hole. This causes the prisoner to gag, leaving behind the feeling of drowning. This technique has a low death rate, but studies have shown it can leave behind a post traumatic fear years after the technique has taken place. According to an open letter written to the Unite States Attorney General, this technique should be considered inhumane. Water Boarding makes some of the most evil and infamous criminals confess to many terror plots, locations, etc. Yet critics still disagree.....

As the prisoner gags and chokes, the terror of imminent death is pervasive, with all of the physiologic and psychological responses expected, including an intense stress response, manifested by tachycardia, rapid heart beat and gasping for breath. There is a real risk of death from actually drowning or suffering a heart attack or damage to the lungs from inhalation of water. Long term effects include panic attacks, depression and PTSD. -Dr. Allen Keller

....In many cases Water Boarding has psychologically damaged the correspondents so much that they refuse to take showers, or panic whenever it rains. In these situations, it's even speculated that permanent brain damaged has taken place. After doing my research, I determined that this form of interrogation is extremely disheartening, but useful. So in the defense of the CIA, unless the government has a better method, there's no need to fix what isn't broken.

The Franklin family can finally bring closure to brutal killing of Naliah Franklin. Franklin, a 23 year old pharmaceutical representative, was found dead right outside of Chicago, IL in late September. Police Detectives have recently determined Franklin was killed by her ex boyfriend, Reginald Potts. Before Franklin's murder she admitted to friends that she was afraid of Potts, and even went as far as to file a police report for harassment. Although media reports have never confirmed, sources closest to my self have concluded Potts was a known drug dealer, with an extensive criminal background. Cell phone records concluded Potts alibi didn't make sense, and now prosecutors are going forward with presumably requesting the death penalty.

Drew Peterson has released his own personal website today. Mr. Peterson is looking for support, and donations through the his visitors. The website was shut down several times in it's first day opening because of the overwhelming traffic exceeding his bandwidth, causing systems to crash. I urge any other supports besides my self to visit the website, and show your support. If the website is down, please try back later.

There was a study I read about that says over 67% of Americans would rather make money than have sex. Now that's pretty odd - and practically unbelievable, because where I'm from you have to make money in order to have sex. *applause sign flashes*
