Interesting implication from the title of the article: that it would be &#x27;right&#x27; to waterboard some other men. Who are they, and what justifies their torture? And before someone says it, I don&#x27;t think &quot;gathering intelligence&quot; is a sufficiently moral or practical justification. People being tortured don&#x27;t tell you valuable information; they tell you whatever they think will make the torture stop.<p>The CIA is a sickening and surprisingly amateurish organisation. Their actions over the past decades have ruined the United States&#x27; international moral authority. It&#x27;s laughable whenever some US politician goes on TV and proclaims that America is some magical paragon of liberal democratic virtue. It&#x27;s a sick joke.
