Chicago interrogations being investigatesd? I wonder why...

In a written statement on Friday, Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said “I have zero tolerance for misconduct, and the cases being referenced occurred nearly two decades ago and do not reflect the present day actions of the men and women of the Chicago Police Department.

Doesn't Chicago issue out this same statement every 20 years?

To document for the record what everybody already knows.

For a long time, systematic torture (and not the pansy Abu Ghraib kind, but the real Klaus Barbie deal) was SOP in the Chicago Police Department. NOBODY was EVER prosecuted for the actual torture, but the ringleader, Jon Burge, was recently convicted and sent to Federal prison for perjury in a civil trial over the torture.

What I find supremely ironic (but hardly surprising) is that Comrade Urkel (Obama) exchanged endorsements with former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. Daley was Cook County State's Attorney at the height of the torture activity, and profited directly from FALSE confessions extracted under torture.

Interesting isn't it that Urkel would condemn "torture" of foreign terrorists captured overseas, but NOT that of U.S. citizens which took place in the continental United States, not ONE of whom could have passed the well known "paper bag" test. Apparently to Urkel, torture is bad... unless it benefits somebody whose endorsement he needs.
