One Clear, Simple Truth

.
This morning, during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on torture via emptywheel's liveblogging, we learned one clear, simple truth. A truth that cannot be knocked down by the weaselly lies of the Chee-knee family or the handwringing of the torture apologists who show up on all the pundit shows or the Republican hardwiring of the media in Teh inbred Village of DeeCee.

From the first person account of Ali Soufan, a trained professional FBI interrogator:

Information was gained in spite of torture,
not
because of it.

There is only one hope for the GOP on this, and that's to get ahead of the Democrats and the American people, and demand indictments...and impeachment of Bush and Chee-knee to revoke all their post-presidential perks.
