    Case goes to the Supreme Court. The US government (this transcends Trump and Biden) wants to keep the torture programs secret. Plaintiff argues that torture should not be allowed to be kept secret.

    Personally I say torture is illegal and immoral so let sunlight disinfect the whole sordid affair and deter others in the future.

    … "There needs to be an accounting. Torture must be known. You cannot allow torture to be done in secret and kept in secret. That's fundamentally what this case is about."
    .
    Specifically, the question before the court is whether the so-called state secrets privilege protects the information in this case. The privilege, adopted by the high court in 1953, allows the government to seek to block evidence for a trial in the interest of national security. …

        But you believe it's ok to rip an infant's head off and then crush up the rest of its body and suck it out through a vacuum tube....

        I guess it's not torture if you couldn't hear it screaming....

        Nothing pisses me of more than to have a democrat talk about what is and what is not moral when they kill babies.
