was also on and made a few extraordinary comments re the fact that physicians were 'weaponized' ..that is a very valid point imo

he also talked about the human experiment aspect of torture.

I refuse to believe that this will not end up in prosecutions. One interesting thing to me is that the outrage over the release of the torture report, is not from the 'terrorists' outside of our country..and was cited as a reason to not release the report. It is fuel and proof to us..Americans who have opposed this wicked practice and war from the very beginning.

not sure if he is the one who said (as I recall) that if it hadn't been for the psychologists, the techniques could not have taken place.
