This week Congress released a report detailing the systemic use of torture by the CIA in interrogating suspected terrorists.
The report, prepared by a Democratic-led committee, has been debunked by the Republicans as partisan politics. Yet, Republican Sen. John McCain, a former victim of torture himself as a POW, broke with party ranks to talk about the importance of bringing this situation to light.
Do the ends justify the means? Is it ever OK to use torture? Should we release reports like this that may endanger our troops out in the field? How can we call out other countries for human rights abuses when we do these things ourselves?
We don’t have the answers to these questions, but what’s important is that we are shining a light on what happened and we are asking the questions. There are very few countries in the world where these issues can be raised without fear of retribution or government crackdown.
That’s what makes us different and that’s why it’s important to bring these issues to light.
