In response to CIA Torture Reports: Frozen to Death; Dick Cheney War Criminal I received an interesting response from a U. S. Army Major.

Hi Mish,
Just thought I’d write to share my Facebook post on the recent torture revelations:
“I’m sad and horrified to read the details of the CIA’s torture program. To me, it represents the sickest form of consequentialism, one that has run roughshod over any type of moral authority the U. S. can claim in offering its leadership to the world. I’m further upset that my fellow brothers and sisters in uniform will most likely underwrite this disastrous program, as the enemy will now be all too eager to respond in kind to any American serviceman or woman unlucky enough to endure capture. I only wish we had the moral courage to make those responsible accountable for these unmistakable atrocities.”
All you’ve written on the subject is very well said.
US Hypocrisy…
