Oh No! Not the Comfy Chair!

Did anyone see Good Morning America yesterday morning (Tuesday July27th)? This was reporting on a par with Diane Sawyer dropping the ball when interviewing the Dunce in Chief after Katrina. GMA toured Gitmo with the Chief Interrogator. During the tour they showed us an interrogation room complete with a Lay-z-Boy for the interviewee. I missed the rest of the interview because I could only here one thing in my head, "Oh no! Not the comfy chair!" Yes, the confederacy of dunces is using Monty Python torture techniques. Does the Geneva Convention allow this?

How could the GMA reporter let that one go? Perhaps more importantly, is the government trying to parody itself? They did say they had more austere torture I mean interrogation rooms. If I was showing the press an interrogation room at Gitmo, I would show the standard room with a regular chair and a polygraph. I'd keep the rooms with the torture equipment like the rack and the comfy chair out of sight.
