The most disappointing part of the current news cycle treatment of the "debate on torture" is that we're losing sight of the true debate that needs to happen.
Is the United States a country that prosecutes torture?
Regardless of what any Congressperson or Senator knew or knows, it is clearly a matter for the DoJ to decide whether any of the laws of the United States were broken, and prosecute if warranted.
It is disappointing that the focus has been lost behind the smokescreen of Congressional oversight.
