Okay. Good points. So fuck evidence. Let's just go with the hypothetical. Would you put it past our guys to engage in such torture? And, why wouldn't we engage in such torture: 1) If it somehow reasoned to be more or less analogous to collateral damage or other torture, 2) if it is ordered, and 3) if there are pedos in the military who are eager to partake in such things?
Do we, you and I, do this thing where we say, "Well, it's against my moral compass, therefore there's no way our guys could do such a thing"?

Well, our guys don't want to get in trouble. I think instead of wondering whether it's right or wrong, they would wonder, "how big of a scandal would this be if it got out?"
I think it'd be the kind of thing we'd assign to our less-scrupulous allies (Jordan, Egypt, etc.) while insisting on not knowing the details.

lol, probably. although the intelligence community does try to bring in people "of good moral character" because they're a lot less likely to defect or create scandals for them. that's how the Mormon Mafia became a thing.
I will probably have to take a "lifestyle polygraph" someday. That's going to fucking suck. I might not get hired because of it. They bitched out my friend because he fucked a hooker one time. If they find out what I've been up to.. sheeeeiiiiittttt, partner.
I learned from that 9/11 truther guy that NIST made computer simulations but won't release their input data for national security reasons. But how hard could that data be to approximate and why haven't other countries made their own simulations? Does the exact layout of beams matter all that much to collapse?
I would imagine that those on the senate and house intelligence committees would have to take a lifestyle polygraph, but maybe not. For the rest of Congress, no way.

I don't mean to doubt the reputable copsrcorrupt.com, but a lot of these images clearly have nothing to do with the CIA.
This seems to be their evidence for "children being tortured" by the US.
Like, it's very likely that teenagers (or even younger) have been tortured at black sites by US allies. But this is all they got?

I'm not sure what the topic is anymore.

There appear to be many 9/11 simulation videos on YouTube.

Do senators not need to take those?
