The U.S. tortured people. That’s the claim, anyway.
A nonpartisan, 577-page report on the United States’ interrogation program concludes that “it is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture,” and that top officials were responsible for it.
The 11-member panel was organized by the Constitution Project and was led by two former members of Congress: a Republican, Asa Hutchinson, and a Democrat, James Jones.
The report confirms that waterboarding was more widespread, and was practiced against Libyan militants as well as Al Qaeda prisoners. Torture also damaged the U.S.’s standing in the world and risked the safety of U.S. troops. “As long as the debate continues, so too does the possibility that the United States could again engage in torture,” says the report.
The question is: Does it matter? If it keeps America safe, should it matter?

Actually, it should matter. If it keeps America safe and saves lives, then it MUST be done!
And we paid for 577 pages of this?? THAT’s torture.
Those libs would rather Americans get tortured in Boston like bombings, but don’t dare torture a filthy terrorist.
