Good news on torture

Big news today. The FBI has established a special team for "high value" interrogations, which will follow very specific rules. We should all be very happy about this! And Eric Holder has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate inappropriate interrogations that happened during the past few years. I know this will probably get mired in politics, and it will probably turn into a witch hunt, punishing a few scapegoats while the true venality is never addressed, but I still think it's good news - we have to hold ourselves accountable. HOW we do things is just as important as WHAT we accomplish. Repugs can insist that the only standard by which we should judge is "what works" (as Joe Scarborough said about 50 times this morning), but techniques like threating to rape a detainee's mother are just not acceptable. What separates us from those we abhor???
