The release of the CIA report will only aid in the recruitment propaganda for al qaeda and will further put Americans, our military personnel and our allies at risk abroad.
Viscerally, I understand your reaction. The prisoners are accused of enabling the deaths of many people.
Many of the people who support the government's use of torture also express a good deal of distrust toward the same government. What guarantee do we have that the CIA won't use the same torture techniques against someone who disagrees with whatever administration is in power at that time?
