- Go to Torture and Slavery…Part I
I personally found it quite upsetting Naut, one would have thought there was a different means of extracting information. Giving newspapers something they love does not mean it is the right thing to do.

I also do not approve of torture. Actually, that was as far as I read in this post of yours. I wasn't in the mood to read or hear about it today.

Once again, I wholeheartedly agree. No, I do not condone torture either, but the bottom line is . . . that report should not have been made public! As you've said, all it did was put the U.S. in a very bad light ( as if we weren't there already! ) and put millions of lives at stake. It will probably also help in ISIS's recruitment of 'certain Americans' into their fold! As for those 'fact-finding procedures' themselves, again, I'm not condoning anything, but I believe comedian Lewis Black put it best when he said ( after living in New York City for a spell ) . . . "The only way to beat an enemy that psychotic is, you have to be even more psychotic!" People like Feinstein and her ilk won't see it that way of course, but there it is, just the same . . .
