Thoughtful perspective on the CIA's Inspector General Report, which outlines in great detail the inhumane treatment of detainees by CIA interrogators. This blog post quotes numerous excerpts from this report, and presents useful context to help us understand the implications of these abuses. Informative and insightful opinion.

Americans who want to justify or endorse the torture we engaged in should be required to know what was actually done — not hide behind the comforting myth that “all we did was pour some water down the noses of 3 bad guys”
