Obamacare

101 out of 101 cases of CIA torture not to be prosecuted. Whistleblowers allegedly still may be prosecuted.

I find myself wondering how much if any info is missing - given the severity of US-sponsored torture in the past, most of these deaths and rapes and other cases are relatively mild. Are we given just enough to be outraged and to make us think everything has been exposed?

Our (alas lame duck) senator is loudly claiming that there's a lot more and we're only finding out about what they think we won't be too upset about, much like the NSA spy-on-everyone program.

Not paranoid enough, I suspect.

Yes, there is much missing, e.g. the destruction of videotapes by the dude who ran things at the CIA who didn't want his underlings being tried as war criminals. Given how much the CIA have lied and distorted otherwise, and documentedly-so, I think we can be confident there would've been value in those tapes.
