Volkerball posted:Why would there be indictments? It was a government policy supported at all levels, even if the scale was unknown. They didn't just make this report for fun. Something can come of it in the future, and progress is being made on that front. When's the last time you saw north korea formally investigate its labor camps and release the report to the public? Aside from 'following orders isn't a defense', once the CIA began lying to Congress and the White House they forfeit the claim they were just following orders. Also, these were flagrantly illegal orders and one way you make sure that flagrantly illegal orders aren't followed in the future is to punish the people who do follow them. You also punish the people who give them, of course, but there's value in punishing the minons even if the architects escape justice.

It should also be noted that the CIA is currently, right now lying about facts the report covers: it is attempting to claim that torture was important in finding Bin Laden while the report specifically shows that is a lie.
