Lots of people do die, who don't "deserve" to, because of the hubris, stupidity or evil acts of other people. All the more reason to bind the government from committing as much hubris, stupidity and evil as we can.

If innocent Americans are threatened because of the disclosures, we could always do what we should be doing anyway; send the torturers and their superiors to face trial before an international tribunal.
You would trust an international tribunal to try people who killed American citizens?

Congratulations, you may have won moonbat of the year with that asinine thought.

Find an apologist for torture and he is always--always--a coward. Rush Limbaugh. Dick Cheney. Michael Savage. Ad infinitum.

I would ONLY trust an international tribunal. An jury of inbred Middle American swine would be even more hopelessly credulous than O.J. Simpson's L.A. jury.

ETA: You may have misunderstood me. I was referring to CIA interrogators and their superiors, up to and including the former president, being sent to The Hague, and hopefully put away for life.

Ah, you forgot Senator McCain. An honest mistake, no doubt.

To refresh your memory, he was shot down over Vietnam and endured five years of torture.

Well, Mr. Gruber, you are entitled to your opinion of the American people.

Forgive me if I trust them over a panel of Iranians to pass judgment on some terrorists.

If I get lucky, one of them will set foot in the wrong country and get the full Pinochet/Milosevic/Eichmann treatment. That'd be a banner day in my life, to be sure!

They just need to be understood. ISIS, Boka Haram and Al Queda are just misunderstood Simpletons that just need to be left alone.

Do I care when the guys that do this are tortured? I applaud it.
