your elected officials are only now learning about what happened. nothing there was authorized by who you allowed into power.

The common man is even more detached from the powers that be than previously assumed (which was already low).

We knew - we knew - that detainees were being tortured. We didn't know how many; nor for how long; nor the exact methods; but we did know that it was happening.

We (congress) knew more than vague generalities. According to Jose Rodriguez[1], administration and congressional leaders knew, approved, and were kept briefed throughout.
