Freedom Handles

It's not just the Army that's got problems with recruits:

CIA officials used a sledgehammer handle to beat various prisoners in Iraq, and one official, whose name is classified, would often brag about his abuse of prisoners, according to testimony in a closed session of a military hearing.

Well, that ought to work--beating the shit out of people in the name of freedom (at least one prisoner was beaten to death). Oh, and the article doesn't mention ANY information being obtained as a result.
