Meaning of Torture Report: Simply a Catharsis? – Daniel McAdams and Jay Taylor

by | Dec 14, 2014

What is the final meaning of the Senate’s recent release of its report on CIA torture activities? We know that no one will be prosecuted, as they have already been given immunity by the president. We have no reason to believe the out-of-control CIA will have its wings clipped after release of the report. Just as the NSA did not cease, but rather increased, its spying on the rest of us after the Snowden revelations.

What purpose does the release of this information serve if it does not lead to any change in government behavior?
