"Did you see that movie Zero Dark Thirty, which purported to show how
torture helped find bin Laden? That was nothing more than CIA propaganda
via Hollywood to try to press that story forward. The reality is
something different. And something that is quite ugly for Americans: we
used torture programs, which almost certainly violated the Geneva
Conventions, for basically no benefit at all."

Let us hope that these war crimes are eventually punished.  The US is
doing immeasurable damage to its legitimacy and global reputation the
longer it continues these practices and the cover-ups.
