Why Can't We Talk About the T-Word with Trump's CIA Pick? @alternet: How torture became unspeakable yet defensible in Washington. The key to defending the practice of torture is never to use the word.When the Bush administration wanted to torture suspected terrorists after 9/11, it adopted 'enhanced interrogation techniques.' When President Obama decided not to investigate Bush's torture regime, he said it was 'time to look forward, not backwards.'
