11. The title for my post was facetious
I note towards the end of my OP that I think that visualization of the torture being carried out by our government will we the only way to create the widespread outrage necessary to combat it.

I think I made a mistake by doing that (the facetious title), in that it has a tendency to create the wrong impression.

I was aware that many in the Wehrmacht had contempt for the Nazis. They even attempted to assassinate Hitler a couple of times -- for which many paid with their lives. I'm not sure, though, what percentage of regular soldiers felt that way.

It may be that the Bush administration is less concerned about who they have participating in torture than Hitler was. That would be a bad move for him, as it results in people such as Eric Fair coming forward to complain about and publicize it.
