All of implies that maybe there is a situation in which it would be acceptable to send people to a torture prison. It’s situations like this where traditional views of neutrality fall apart. The status quo has never been neutral, and that’s easier to see when the status quo is fucking bonkers.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Also could be the absolute classic; the FBI convinced a bunch of losers to do a terror attack, including informants pushing them to make plans, telling them where to buy weapons and making "connections" with "arms dealers," and helping pick the target list.
I’m finding it increasingly hard to report anything delivered by “official sources” in the US. Could be true, could be a coverup, could be completely made up for nefarious ends.
It’s a country now where no one really has any idea what’s actually going on.
