Great article - thanks for sharing. The bottom line is these torture techniques do not represent American values, and the use of such by the Bush administration could have put American soldiers at risk and certainly did nothing as far as enhancing our position in the world. The bigger question is, should American officials who condoned these tactics be prosecuted? Personally I feel they should be, but it appears Obama and his administration are saying in effect "here are the facts, let's drop it and move forward".
