The torturers are proud of their acts, so WHY SUPPRESS the 6,000 pages?

Cheney, the psychologist, and so many others are claiming to be proud of their acts of torture.

So why did the CIA fight Congress and even risk a constitutional crisis to suppress the report, the executive summary of the report, and the details?

Why not release it all, as well as the Panetta report and the John Durham letter, and the 28 pages, and all of it?

They are so proud of it, they would do it again!

So why are some fighting desperately to hide it?

Our law only provides for impeachment, not a gonadectomy.

copies and mail them out.

They seem to be extremely proud of themselves.

Their torture supporters are as pleased as punch.

Evil has infested the U.S. and it will be difficult to counteract this destructive force.

They sicken.

They frighten me.

They are the greatest threat this country faces.

Christian Nation may ass.

When they object to the release of the documents so strenuously, it is just modesty?

Perhaps they even had a pool among themselves, betting on various endeavors and who would be the most valorous (vigorous).

In fact, some of it even in this fucked time would be beyond most people's pale and there might actually have to be consequences or maintaining the illusion will become unmanageable.

They know people aren't going good to react well to molesting and torturing babies and little children to extract false information to trump up a war and purposefully undermine our basic civil liberties.

We are just getting the peek of the tippy top of the ice berg here. A lot of these people died too, no telling what they did in any given event when soulless fucks are running amok having an Inquisition of lies.

Let us know what we really are. Maybe then we'll decide to do something about it. War crimes that rival the worst acts of despots through the ages.
