your priorities are shown to be out of whack by the idea that you believe all of the people receiving these treatments are 'terrorists'.

First of all, not all are terrorists, including by the torturers' own admission.

Second, the idea that terrorists (especially as arbitrarily defined, without trial and due process, for years on end) should be tortured is still problematic.

Third, yes they are out of whack. The decent human priorities would be to have the same sympathies for all victims, and the same demand for human rights to be applied in both cases.

There's a big difference between a bunch of gamers on the internet making rape threats between/during halo sessions, and members of the .gov/.mil torturing people in black sites...though there are plenty of people on both sides of the gamergate nonsense who'd love to draw a parallel in their level of supposed persecution.

Also, there seems to be no shortage of outrage on HN towards the perpetrators of such things when such stories are discussed here.
