any violence that results is their fault for torturing people, not the ACLU's for bringing it to light.

However, with the shock of these attacks getting people on edge, they could also look at the torture as less horrible in light of the terrorists attacks. I think we should give people a couple of days for these jitters to wear off. Two wrongs don't make a right, but people are less likely to think critically about it like that when they are emotional.

In the end, it's not my decision to make though. As I said, I will stand with you and everyone else working on this when the time comes. I just think it's helpful to play devil's advocate when it comes to things like this.
