Bruce Fein.2

Quick version: Torture is making us less safe. We are dealing with a mentality - a king-mentality, pre-Magna Carta. CIA operatives can assassinate and torture because they have state secrets. Since when has that been okay? B&C worse than Nixon. (This is always fun to go back to, but seems obvious, right? Is that just me?) All the world is a battlefield - of course Bin Laden wants to kill us everywhere and break rules, but do we want everywhere on earth, this theater, this booth, to be a battlefield? Where U.S. government operatives can do whatever they like?

That concludes the witness portion...

Intermission...
