Consequences

As a nation, we take the consequences for the actions of the dishonorable dogs in the CIA. Enhanced interrogation techniques are perfumed spritzed words covering a pile of turds.No matter how much perfume is sprayed on a pile of crap, the same smell will remain. Googling the word torture, and reading through a few pages should be adequate preparation for reading the C.I.A. Torture Report recently released.

The reading may be a little bit difficult and painful due to the content inside, about as painful as watching the CNN report the afternoon it was released. As parents we punish our children for bold faced lies. Depending on the severity of the lie, we discipline them and restructure their lives. Where adults are concerned, we usually send them to prison.

Because they're in government though, they'll likely get off.
Other nations are pushing us to charge the people who did this as war criminals.

Some in that CIA report are going on the TV stating they were following orders. Hitler's men tried that tactic and it didn't work. Doing wrong because someone told you to do so does not free you of the consequences.

There are people claiming the information they obtained was good. A lot of Americans, including myself, do not believe that. Please, if you do believe it was good information, list each fact obtained and what life was saved. I'll be waiting. I'll not listen, though, if you dip into politician double speak.

It comes down to this, people: The CIA hurt folks. Laws were ignored. It was done to please a few sadists. Dammit, we're supposed to be better than I.S.I.S.!
