everyone else realizes that it's shit that needs to happen- even if some of it shouldn't, in retrospect. it is a practical necessity.
What's funniest to me (and i am pro abortion rights) is that the libs bring up legal arguments to say we shouldn't torture terrorists when the torture could save lives- article 5 of the blah blah blah would be impacted- yet those same people argue that abortion is a practical necessity w/o ever admitting the legal support is shakier than anything Bush has rasied to justify detainee treatment.

I'm talking about historical view looking back (in 20 or 30 years), not current view.
I understand why as a general matter this stuff cannot be public. I think the Senate Intelligence Committee should know what is going on with the camps etc. and have some oversight. It is not my impression that they do currently, but I am not positive. Have not yet finished the WaPo article that started this discussion; it probably would flesh out the oversight issues for me.
