The torture question is one of the most important questions we, as American’s will have faced in our history. It is the #1 moral issue in our lifetimes, and will be in the history books long after we are gone.
For the first time in our history, our government, in our names, sanctioned and codified as legal inhumane treatment of other persons. Things for which we court-martialled soldiers during Vietnam (water-boarding) became legal “tools” and were used literally 100’s of times against certain detainee’s in a 30-day time-frame.
For me, I will attempt as long as possible to keep these documents readily available for use in refuting any argument that says torture was legal and had results. It was NOT legal, no matter how the past administration(s) frame it, and it did NOT produce results, not matter who says so.
