(Reps of military culture calling for investigations of Bush torture regime. Denouncing tactics as murderous, unnecessarily humiliating. Wonder if we can take a break from frantically "looking forward, not back" to actually address reality.)
Daily Kos: 4-Star General Calls for Probe of Bush White House

General Barry McCaffrey:
We should never as a policy maltreat people under our control, detainees.
We tortured people unmercifully. We probably murdered dozens of them during a course of that, both by the armed forces and CIA.
► Meanwhile, legendary covert CIA officer Robert Baer also calls for an investigation.
On a more public level, a thorough clearing of the air will go a long way toward discrediting the idea that we either torture terrorists or die. [snip] A complete investigation into the quality of that information, I suspect, will prove we are going through this national trauma and international humiliation for absolutely nothing.
