Prosecute Torturers and Their Bosses

"Whoever fights with monsters must be careful lest he become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you." - Nietzsche

Based on their actions (which ultimately may have not yielded anything useful either) the torturers and their masters are monsters of the worst kind - state sanctioned.

So now why stop at just releasing the report? Take the next logical step & prosecute these sociopaths.

I believe this is one of the overlooked but very important reasons not to torture. The torturers are also damaged, in their own way. We should not require this of anyone.

The "School of the Americas" a US military training facility for middle and south american militaries has been known for training some of worst human rights violators in the region. So it is not like the US government is new to the idea of creating monsters.

But they're friends with the cronies!

So it's not going to happen. No matter how many "voters" beg daddy Govmints. Keep cheering though. Maybe something will change. Not.
