Amazing. The Senate's torture report is out and, despite my one-time obsession with the subject, I feel no urge to post about it. One thing should be kept in mind. Horrifying as this report is, it is only the tip of the iceberg. It addresses torture in secret sites by the CIA. It does not address far more widespread, though probably more amateurish, use of torture by the military (see Abu Graib).
Maybe if I have a strong stomach, I can get to it later. But 500 pages (to say nothing of 6000!) is formidable.
