The C.I.A. Torture Cover-Up
This is a great example of how the Constitution and our system of laws is meaningless as long as two branches conspire to make it so. In this case, the executive branch allowed the torture to go unpunished, and the legislative branch allowed the executive branch to do so.<p>There is a third party that needs to acquiesce to the lawlessness: the voting public. Well, sort of. The current president promised them that there would be accountability for the torture, but that campaign promise went the way of so many others.<p>So it goes.
