The torturers will always claim that it was worth the "effort" because we gained valuable intelligence. Credible evidence says we didn't, and the most egregious torture stopped in Dumbya and The Dick's second term…we're told. The Dick, in particular, is very careful about traveling abroad, fearful of being detained and charged with war crimes. The CIA action they should have paid attention to was the infamous August, 2001 briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in U.S." delivered over a month before the 9/11 attack. What a legacy.
