Publicity of these crimes is a hinderance to justice.
Now it is in the open the state has to keep face.
If it have been kept undercover the people responsible would have been punished.
I dont suppose it makes much difference to the victims of torture: but that is the reality of war. War is the application of violence, and the suffering of innocent and guilty people is bound to occur. If you dont want to see such things, you shouldnt declare war on someone for the sake of grabbing their oil.
