    Yes, sadly I think you are right. I think it is wrong, first because - it is wrong - and secondly, because it makes it so much easier for hate preachers to preach their hate. They can always point to these things and stir up more hate. We have to be better than the bad guys and should not stoop to their level of methods.

    Not even an exception for "legitimate torture" wherein the body shuts down and is immune to the pain?

    Our military has essentially been given immunity from all accountability. First Patriot Act, then NDAA, now this nail in the coffin in our common law system.

    Fascism FTW.

    The bill of rights has been effectively neutered. (By design). It'll be necessary to suppress our grandchildren when they are forced to take back our government from the banks and corporations.
    Maybe.

    Ex CIA agent John Kiriakou sentenced to 30 months in prison for whistleblowing.

    The torturers he exposed? NOTHING.

    What a horrible horrible precedent. This makes it much harder to get rid of the terrorism, and torturers.
