I was swayed by the fact that our military used waterboarding in training thousands of its own soldiers without harm, and that the CIA would use the technique only on top Al Qaeda leaders thought to have actionable information on pending plots.

Has there been a good write up of our various atrocities yet? I'm looking for a good read to send my dad.

What, like, all of them? That's a long-rear end list. I think the only countries with remotely manageable lists of atrocities are those too young and/or small to be in the game, but even the few dozen people on the Pitcairn Islands have some dark poo poo, so I don't even loving know.

Just like how you can't be a racist unless you've lynched someone, you aren't a torturer until you've sliced somebody's balls open just for the fun of it.
