I lied....

One more post on torture. It seems the American people can hold two distinct ideas in their head at one time.

But by and large the public would like to see some sort of investigation.

-edit--

Those numbers are interesting. I am not sure what to make of them. I wonder if there is some cognitive dissonance going on here. I wonder if there is a resistance by the American public to embrace the idea that torture was carried out in their name. Or if it is just a collective 'Special Pleading Fallacy', "We are American's! We don't torture! If we did it we had good reason to!".

I guarantee that as soon as an American servicemen, or national is treated in this fashion, our adherence to these treaties will once again reign supreme.
