If anything untoward had occurred with respect to torturing personnel under our care, the perpetrators would surely be aware of it -- and any instigators would know even earlier.
The fact that none (except a handful of scumbags) of the alleged perpetrators and none of the alleged instigators in all these alleged torture instances have come forward to admit any guilt strongly indicates to me that nothing actionable was going on. As the bard said, these are all honorable men.
With a little more good taste and common sense this whole thing never needed to happen. If those pornographic pictures hadn't come out... but I digress.
I am more and more appreciative of the essential role that censorship, official secrecy, creative truth-mongering, concentration of powers, and silent acquiescence must play for our democracy and freedoms to prevail in the end: faith alone should be enough, to be sure, but in this wicked world it can sure use a little help!
