I'm halfway through reading it right now and I have to tell you it's quite sickening to say the least. Even though torture or "enhanced interrogation" is allowed to coerce prisoners at that level, the information they actually received from those methods was consistently wrong or was about information that they didn't even need. I mean for god sake the CIA even recognized that torture does not yield very accurate information and yet they continued to use the methods. So one case that I read in the report is that they captured this developmentally challenged kid and used him as leverage to get information out of his parents. They tortured him for thirty days and would send videos of him crying until the parents coughed up the information and the information they got was wrong. Not only is that morally wrong to use an innocent person as leverage to gain information but it is also illegal under US guidelines due to his lack of mental competency. So in short I really don't think it should be legal because it yields no results and it will always be subject to abuse, no matter the country.

I'm very on the fence about it myself. Like...for the greater good was a good idea but it's a little sickening

I don't think that the majority of the individuals involved in all this are completely to blame. I mean they do share in it but I think that there is a gross mismanagement of the program if it was allowed to deteriorate like this. I mean because of this we are at a point of defamation among not only those who are against the views of the US but even in the eyes of our allies in whose countries we hosted these illicit practices. I believe that the American public had the right to know what they were condoning every time the actions of the CIA were put into question and were then removed due to lies on their part and I don't think that those who say that they shouldn't have released this have a clue what is really going on. Those that could truly make a huge stink about this(and rightly so) have already know about this activity and have been, it just hasn't been publicized. I guess what I mean is that the damage was done with the actions committed, not with the release of the debriefings. It's release serves as a way to redeem what little respect we have on the humanitarian efforts.
