euphronius posted:Well, ok but the Idea of someone ordering someone to torture someone is monstrous. Why would that ever be legal. We hanged the officers that ordered war crimes after WWII, not the men that did them (they'd have been shot if they refused after all).

TACD posted:Is it safe to say at this point that the US has the most well-funded and expansive torture program that has ever existed? No. As horrific as it is we "only" tortured about a hundred people. Ancient Romans would think we were cute.

Hollismason posted:What I don't understand is why the CIA was paying these huge sums of money, like what could possibly justify it in their mind to spend that much money on someone who's job just seemed like middle management skills. When you think there is one person in the world that can do a thing, you tend to pay a large sum of money for that thing.
