It has already begun, fool.

Good God.

What are the hybrids like?

He had a major emotional breakdown over a wrong number last night and today demanded the personal details of our coach's life.

So OOC explanation.

The Azhoun thing was done largely as a way to

A. Have more fun with Azazel since we never did much proper with him. This never materialised due to time constraints.
B. Provide an easy escape route regarding just what the fuck Set is, since I had no fucking idea and I never really bothered to consider it. I had alternate plans, but I never got around to properly foreshadowing them, so this worked well enough.

Stupidstupidstupidstupid.

I told you not to do this months ago - but no one listens to me.

(pout)

I listen to you - I just didn't give enough of a shit to think of an alternative backstory which worked.

I mean, I never thought a backstory was needed; just a motive. His actions haven't been properly explained in-universe.

Frankly, I think he would've worked just fine as the actual Egyptian god Set.

Overall, it's a minor hiccup, to be honest.

This is a pretty strong argument. You got my vote.

Astrolinium 2015: I'm not those two.

Kevin 2015: Burn Everything

Actually, I'm undecided now. Both very good candidates.

The first guy is just below the standard, and the second's a little above.

I'm incredibly slow and constantly fucked. This is what Policy debate is; constant fucking. And capitalism kritiks.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Yes, Caspian's dead.

I'm surprised that Astro resisted the temptation to have Chris Addison pop up saying "Well, you're dead, and this is what's next."

I did have Umbridge ask him if anyone had offered him a coffee yet.

Which is a close second.

Though now I may have to pull out Chris Addison.

The Great Twat is a formless, shapeless darkness which cannot be constrained to a single face; it is, yet it is not.

I learned about this on The Bugle.

Because when you have John Oliver, Andy Zaltzman, and Chris, you don't need other news.

For context.

After being transferred to a site in Thailand, Abu Zubaida was placed in isolation for 47 days, a period during which the presumably important source on al-Qaeda faced no questions. Then, at 11:50 a.m. on Aug. 4, 2002, the CIA launched a round-the-clock interrogation assault — slamming him against walls, stuffing him into a coffin-size box and waterboarding him until he coughed, vomited, and had “involuntary spasms of the torso and extremities.”

The treatment continued for 17 days. At one point, the waterboarding left Abu Zubaida “completely unresponsive, with bubbles rising through his open, full mouth.” CIA memos described employees who were distraught and concerned about the legality of what they had witnessed. One said that “two, perhaps three” were “likely to elect transfer.”

The Senate report suggests top CIA officials at headquarters had little sympathy. When a cable from Thailand warned that the Abu Zubaida interrogation was “approach[ing] the legal limit,” Jose Rodriguez, then chief of the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, cautioned subordinates to refrain from such “speculative language as to the legality” of the interrogation. “Such language is not helpful.”

Through a spokesman, Rodriguez told The Washington Post that he never instructed employees not to send cables about the legality of interrogations.

Abu Zubaida, also known as Zayn al-Abidin Muhammed Hussein, was waterboarded 83 times and kept in cramped boxes for nearly 300 hours. In October 2002, Bush was informed in his daily intelligence briefing that Abu Zubaida was still withholding “significant threat information,” despite views from the black site that he had been truthful from the outset and was “compliant and cooperative,” the report said.

The document provides a similarly detailed account of the interrogation of the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who fed his interrogators a stream of falsehoods and intelligence fragments. Waterboarding was supposed to simulate suffocation with a damp cloth and a trickle of liquid. But with Mohammed, CIA operatives used their hands to form a standing pool of water over his mouth. KSM, as he is known in agency documents, was ingesting “a LOT of water,” a CIA medical officer wrote, saying that the application had been so altered that “we are basically doing a series of near drownings.”

The CIA has maintained that only three prisoners were subjected to waterboarding, but the report alludes to evidence that it may have been used on others, including photographs of a well-worn waterboard at a black site where its use was never officially recorded. The committee said the agency could not explain the presence of the board and water-dousing equipment at the site, which is not named in the report but is believed to be the “Salt Pit” in Afghanistan.

There are also references to other procedures, including the use of tubes to administer “rectal rehydration” and feeding. CIA documents describe a case in which a prisoner’s lunch tray “consisting of hummus, pasta with sauce, nuts, and raisins was ‘pureed’ and rectally infused.” At least five CIA detainees were subjected to “rectal rehydration” or rectal feeding without documented medical necessity.

At times, senior CIA operatives voiced deep misgivings. In early 2003, a CIA officer in the interrogation program described it as a “train [wreck] waiting to happen” and that “I intend to get the hell off the train before it happens.” The officer, identified by former colleagues as Charlie Wise, subsequently retired and died in 2003. He had been picked for the job despite being reprimanded for his role in other troubled interrogation efforts in the 1980s in Beirut, former officials said.

The agency’s records of the program were so riddled with errors, according to the report, that the CIA often offered conflicting counts of how many prisoners it had.
