\"waterboarding_1756919c\"<\/a>Last\u00a0week’s release of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on CIA torture brought out yet another unsavory attribute of today’s GOP. \u00a0Their voices\u00a0rushed to defend torture and\u00a0those who promoted it, casting doubt on the notion that we won’t see its return in the next GOP administration.<\/p>\n
