horseshit.
if "tragedy" there is in this, it all follows from the bush administration's actions. it follows from their bad legal and political decisions. it follows from the bush administration's decision to allow torture to be used as a "harsh interrogation technique." there was and is and can be no excuse for any of that. and i think it's a good thing that the infotainment extorted from people by these appalling means is not admissible in court.
and there are no national security arguments that should allow for the basic rules that prevent civilized countries from sliding back into the pathological muck.
it amazes me that there are conservatives willing to indulge the paranoia game so thoroughly as to result in condoning torture.
that's the tragedy.
