Just So You Know

I may not have been clear in my scribblings over the last six or so years.  It's possible.  There's a school of thought that says if any misinterpretation of writing is possible, that is the misinterpretation that will be seized upon.  Unearthing examples will be left to the reader.

So.

Let me be blunt:

Torture is wrong.  Torture is unethical and immoral.  Torture is counterproductive.  Torture is evil.

Are we clear on that?  If not, the Internet is huge.

Commentary on the Feinstein report.  (James Wimberly, The Reality-Based Community.)

Wider implications.  (Pecunium, Better Than Salt Money, who has been writing about interrogation from the point of an interrogator for a long time now.)

Roundup of "conservative," "right-wing," and "Republican" responses to the report.  You may notice a certain bent to their reactions.  (Terrance, Republic of T) Additional video for the strong of stomach.  (Three of these videos come with Mature Content warning screens.  Take that seriously.)
