My Comment: Are these people paranoid or what?
The documents that were released shows the hypocrisy of our politicians ....they are (today) critical of the torture techniques that were used, but they are the same politicians that sat in on discussions of torture 6-7 years ago.
They are embarrassed and angry that their duplicity has been shown .... and it appears that they will be wanting revenge.
