Those two psychologists (psychos?) who “earned” $80 million should be the first to be tried for war crimes, followed by those in the CIA who authorized their contract, followed by those in the Bush administration who ordered the CIA to do that, followed by GWBush, who was responsible but too damn lazy and stupid to involve himself. These prosecutions should take place in any country but the USA.
It’s clear that this was about kickbacks, too. Any bright undergrad could google torture as practiced by the Chinese on American POW’s and put it into a manual. Is that worth $80 million. I’d love to follow that money.
You could probably get a couple of 8th-grade boys to come up with that torture stuff for the price of a nice, high-end gaming PC and some porn.

8th grade girls more likely.
I don’t think this means they put $80 million in their pockets. It means they won an $80 million contract that may have required them to spend $79.5m on rubber hoses, bamboo shivs and ABBA CDs.

Prosecute. Must be done, it’s not an option.
There is no leadership without accountability - otherwise we’re just servile targets of the kleptocracy.
