Appreciation String: Thank you Senator Feinstein, et. al. for releasing the Torture Report

Moments like these unfortunately don't come too often, not for me. Moments
where I actually feel proud of my government, where my elected leaders
double-down on truth-telling and doing the right thing.

The development and release of the US Senate's 90% redacted Torture Report
is the most significant single step towards transparency and accountability that
I've seen in quite awhile.

Also, I'm cautiously confident that the other 90% will eventually find it's way
into the light of day. Too many eyes have seen it already for it to go otherwise,
hopefully.

Whether or not Bush & Cheney actually end up facing a war crime trial remains to
be seen, but at least we now know for sure, what we already suspected: we not
only "tortured some folks" but we did it with a vengeance, we did it to totally
innocent people who we KNEW were innocent, "in order to prove their innocence",
just like witch Trials by Ordeal in the Dark Ages.

I for one am grateful to know the gory details, because I feel we need to know
how bad is was, in order to put a permanent stop to war crimes by our government.

Thank you Diane Feinstein. Thank you Mark Udall. And thank you to the other
Senators on the Intel Committee who supported the Torture Report's release.
