Great MSNBC article on torture investigations

Here's a taste:

'We will not be a party to this'
"What makes me intensely proud of all these individuals was they said, ‘We will not be party to this, even if we're ordered to do so,’" said Alberto J. Mora, the former general counsel of the Navy, who ultimately got Secretary Rumsfeld to roll back permission for some of the harshest interrogation techniques. "They are heroes, and there's no other way to describe them. They demonstrated enormous personal courage and personal integrity in standing up for American values and the system we all live for."

In the end, the law enforcement investigators said, they were not able to stop abusive interrogations, but they were able to slow them.

"We always said, there are no secrets, just delayed disclosures," said Fallon, the chief investigator. "And what we told our folks is, your grandchildren are going to ask, ‘What did you do during the war?’ We wanted our folks to be proud of what they did."

the rest is here
