In this politicized fight between the contents of hundreds of thousands of pages of reports and reviews, the actual debate centers on disagreement over two issues: How honest or dishonest the CIA represented what it was doing in communication with those charged with oversight; and whether enhanced interrogation or torture actually succeeded in accomplishing what the CIA claims it did. Strip out the torture and terrorism and you've got any other troubled government program. Was the Department of Health and Human Services honest with those charged with oversight about the state of Obamacare health insurance exchanges prior to their launch, and has it succeeded in providing affordable health insurance? It's the same argument."Strip out the torture and terrorism" and statist meat inspections are also tyranny. Similarly, strip out the so-called racism and Eric Garner's death is about cigarette taxes. I used to think these people were raised in Skinner boxes, but now I think they spend their whole lives in them.
UPDATE. Speaking of Garner, Steven Hayward at Power Line takes the tax thing all the way:
LIBERALISM CAUSED ERIC GARNER’S DEATHHas anyone argued yet that liberalism caused torture because, I dunno, moral relativism or Saul Alinsky or some shit?
