There is simply no friggin excuse, although it's surreal to see the government acknowledging it at all; it shows you how totally insane we've gone in the last year. That and our willingness to let other countries do our torturing for us. And despite what we're told, these are not "a nuclear bomb will go off in 10 minutes unless you can torture the secret password out of the evil villain" thought-experiments; this is slow, institutionalized.
