We tortured others in the name of God. So where’s your God now?

Congress is afraid of the backlash. Members of the former administration are afraid of violence and death. The intelligence community is afraid – and the CIA is terrified. Foreign leaders are afraid.

And they should be.

Very likely there will be blood and violence. Very likely it will be the blood of innocent civilians and violence against US forces that had nothing to do with torture.

That’s the price we’re going to pay for this dirty shameful dishonor.

That’s the price we’re all going to pay for cowardly faceless men who traded their duty, and their honor, and their humanity for expediency and revenge and political advantage.

That’s the price we’re going to pay for religion. We tortured others in the name of God. So where’s your God now? If we are so righteous, where’s his protection and why are you so goddamned afraid?

If you’re afraid of what will happen when people find out that you’ve been torturing people, then maybe YOU SHOULDN’T GO AROUND TORTURING PEOPLE.

The coming violence, well, Folks, that’s the price we’re going to pay for selling our souls cheap.
