Why is this important enough to bring up a month after it was originally covered? Why do I think you might want to hear about this, or watch the videos (which I do recommend)?
I bring this up because the apologists for the recently ended torture regime have, as part of their discourse, deliberately tried to take advantage of our mental image of torture as a medieval legacy. ( another cut for more length )
