  1. Torture only guarantees you’ll get an answer.  It takes time to figure out if it’s even the truth.  By then the window of its usefulness has passed.

    It cost the US a lot of standing in the world for very little gain.  I’m not foolish enough to think our government stands for liberty and justice, but those ideals and image hold a lot of intangible influence throughout the world in unexpected ways.

    Jim Matthis quote saying he didn’t care for torture.  He though a six pack of beer was more effective.  Dubious, but he knew his audience was Trump who needed to hear the right thing delivered the right way.

  2. It’s ridiculous that this took so long and there haven’t been nearly enough consequences for those involved.

    It’s really hard to be happy about this.
