“I cringed my way through the most recent episode. Unfortunately, i had listened to the GITMO episode from This American Life the day before.
The TAL episode left me shattered and sobbing because of the torture inflicted on one prisoner…Ra knows how many suffered as he did.
Torture is alive and well. Nobody, not one person, has been held accountable for the torture inflicted on the men held at GITMO. This makes Americans no better or worse than the torturers of the past. As long as we continue to abandon the hard won advances in stopping our basest instincts, it will get worse before it gets better.”
