maybe. it's hard to say without knowing the extent of the information, which would indicate the extent of the use of torture.
what about the extrordinary rendition program as well?
i think the issue here is that the use of torture was quite systematic, enough so that any notion of "bad apples" in one place is out the window.
it's because there appears to be not a little in the way of collective denial about this still happening that i think it would be good to continue with the ritual of releasing the information.
but again i don't buy the national security arguments at all.
