How many people in that report were said to have died from torture?
In every war it is known a number of people fighting it lose their sense of direction and go off the reservation embarrassing their fellow countrymen. These should by all means face the consequences for their actions.
But what blows my mind is the very same names and politicians busting on the CIA for what I believe are a few loose cannons are the same ones who think it their solemn duty to launch drone strikes which have killed more than suspected terrorists.
Quote:
Obama recently told The New Yorker that he "wrestle[s]" with civilian casualties. But, he said, he has "a solemn duty and responsibility to keep the American people safe. That’s my most important obligation as President and Commander-in-Chief. And there are individuals and groups out there that are intent on killing Americans -- killing American civilians, killing American children, blowing up American planes."
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International issued a pair of reports in October fiercely criticizing the secrecy that shrouds the administration's drone program, and calling for investigations into the deaths of drone victims with no apparent connection to terrorism. In Pakistan alone, TBIJ estimates, between 416 and 951 civilians, including 168 to 200 children, have been killed.
