I think most of people know what we did to out prisoners but this is going to remind them and may put our soldiers at a greater risk if captured. What do you guys think, good idea or bad idea?

The report is neither good nor bad. If the US or the UK do not want to be exposed as evil torturing fuckers then don't do it in the first place.
Don't shoot the messenger.

I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
