Big Talk, Big Stick

Since the public airing of the Senate torture study, comprising details of the horrific methods used to cause human suffering, participants and those who approved the actions are defending the practice. Their hue and cry of innocence and accusations of misleading and false information in the report makes it seem as if torture is not only permissible, but standard behavior of captured enemies.

I'm astounded at the widely voiced approval of torture. To have willingly participated in actions of atrocity considered war crimes, or even having known and permitted the actions, belies what Americans refer to as our VALUES.
