Finally the pieces are assemble into the picture.
The torture of the high value targets was not to gain intelligence.
This was treason.
The torture of the high value targets was not to gain intelligence.
The torture was not to save souls.
The torture was to save their collective adminstration ass.
The torture of the high value targets was to "brain wash" them and obtain evidence or a confession that Saddam Hussein and thus Iraq was connect to Al Qaeda and 9/11. It was all about justifying the war. That is why it was done so late in the interrogations and why the extreme techniques were used.
That makes this a crime several magnitudes greater than before.
This was treason.
Now what?
Does it go away like the last example of American Treason , Iran/Contra?
Do we bite the bullet and follow through?
Do we keep our mouths shut and our eyes turned forward and ignore the screams for justice from the road behind us?
Nixon lives.
