That I think the Hollywood torture factor long pre-dates the current administration.
We seem to have a culture of revenge and end justifies means no matter what. It may make for some good entertainment but the way we substitute entertainment for history and legitimate cultural debate has helped make this a cultural ‘value’.
IMO it is times like this that we most need laws including international laws to protect against the rage of the moment.
It also seems to me that the same things responsible for not talking about the Convention against Torture and ignoring sound logic and human decency are what has been responsible for brining the swaggering braggart to power.
