As a veteran, I support full prosecution of the leadership that fostered this abusive environment and shielded the guilty parties from justice.

I'm afraid a large percentage are now of the "whatever it takes (whether it's effective or not)" mindset.

we're so far down the slope toward a completely authoritarian surveillance/enhanced interrogation state that I don't see much of a way back to the good old days of Richard Helms, etal.
