Releasing Torture Information

The most important benefit to releasing as much information as possible is that fewer people will be willing to do it in the future.

Not much fewer, but that's kind of the point. Most people enthusiastically engaging in such activity don't care about the results they get. They are simply feeding their worst appetites.

Lots of people like to hurt others. Lots of people are willing to do it until the individual dies, as long as they feel they are engaging in "patriotic duty".

Perhaps that's even ok. The question is how to define patriotic duty, and we have now appropriately defined it down.

This is good.
