Hook, swing.

Yes. You are wrong on point 1 and also quite probably evil.

I don't think he's says he believes it, he's saying he thinks the government believes it, because if, at least on some level, they aren't doing it out of some perceived need (no matter how wrong that may be or how immoral it may be) then they just tortured people with no rhyme or reason at all. The CIA being evil and his supposition are not mutually exclusive. Also claiming his point 1 is wrong is pretty stupid because someone in the government obviously believes indefinite detentions is justified or they wouldn't be happening. That says nothing as to whether or not they are justified (they're not, obviously). twodot is making the roundabout point that people who commit evil don't generally believe themselves to be evil.

That's a reasonable position and you're basically just reading what you want to read.
