PROSECUTING TORTURE AS A DISTRACTION FROM THE ECONOMY
Hear me out. I had a kid that got in trouble with a female teacher at school. He was caught due to text messaging, but the parents refused to prosecute because they feared what would come out if ALL the text messages were open to scrutiny.
I have to believe since Pelosi is tap dancing around, that there is far more damaging material against sitting Democrats than Republicans. Most of the ones active are either no longer in power or have been relegated to minor roles. But on every Congressional security committee, there were high powered Democrats at every meeting. If their constituents discover that they knew what was going on and said nothing, then I don't know if they will keep the tenuous support of those who voted just on that issue. Likewise, when the full extent of the alleged torture comes out and is compared to say, the YouTube beheading of an American citizen, there will be a price to pay. See, Americans have for too long seen this war as remote and not directly affecting their lives. Seeing towers fall again-something the media has refused to show since 9/11 under the guise of mock sensitivity-will educate an entire section of young voters who were never allowed to see that footage.
So while they may be rattling swords to get the media distracted, I don't think they really want ALL of the information laid out in the press. "Sound and fury signifying nothing" should be the motto of this administration and the Magician in Chief.
