NO, it doesn't bother me, like I've said in other threads about torture. I am not bothered by torture. In my name or not, since I'm not the one doing it, I'm not directly involved in having done it. I am not able to take blame or credit for anything politicians do as individuals. You may wish to carry that burden, I chose not to.

I don't want the American government to torture people, but just like discovering corrupt politicians, it has happened, and will happen again. It's just a matter of time, may not happen again in your lifetime, but probably will happen again since human beings are particularly cruel individuals to other human beings. That's the TRUE manner that Americans need to understand about themselves. Not that "Oh, this is America and we don't do those kinds of things." No, it's America and fucked up people do fucked up things. "Let's try not to be fucked up."

My stance has not changed. I've reconciled this for myself as honestly as I see it. You're seeing it from a political point, I'm seeing it from an anthropological and sociological point.

I'll asking you again, what purpose does it serve to ADD more photos? How does 50 more photos make it better? Once America does your reconcillation, and goes in a positive path, if more photos are discovered, what purpose or point does releasing another 100 photos serve?

there's tons of photos of tortured individuals through the decades, how is another 50 going to make the point different?
