I understand the fact we face an enemy that has no moral compass. They will kill us or even their own mother if they thought it would make them "bigger". They are without any human value.

That said, we already know that torture does NOT, NOT (read this Dick Cheney) generate actionable intelligence. They will say whatever is needed to stop the pain. It sends us on wild goose-chases where we expend money, energy and resources in vain.

We must regain a modicum of civility in the face of adversaries that are the scum of the universe. But I am tired of my government doing, in my name, acts that I abhor and reject.

I only hope all those involved go to prison for the rest of their lives. Spending 23 hours in a tiny cell should give them time to reflect on their actions.
