Obligé, suite au récent rapport du Congrès, de reconnaitre que la #CIA s’est adonnée à la #torture sous peine de sombrer dans un ridicule ignominieux, le #New_York_Times veut maintenant #sans_vergogne créer un débat discutant du fait de savoir si la torture pourrait se révéler efficace,

He also emphasized “the disputed legal meaning of the word” before saying that “today, the debate is focused less on whether the methods violated a statute … and more on whether they worked.”
