With the extensive evidence that's been exposed since its inception after WWII, do we really believe that the most secretive agency with a classified (read unaccountable budget) ever created has to answer to or for anything?
Secondly, some here have surmised or proposed that revelations/openness of AFM or "enhanced interrogation" techniques would be unwise, because the victims would be able to learn somehow to resist them.
It's utterly preposterous to think the human bodily is capable of effectively fighting stress positions, hot/cold extremes, waterboarding and the like. These tortures and others will and do break down physiologically and neurologically the health of anyone. You cannot train to resist these and many other repeated assaults.
That is fantasy.
