THere&#x27;s a very consistent inaccuracy in NPR&#x27;s (and maybe everyone else&#x27;s) reporting on the torture report.<p>By this point everybody knows that the CIA tortured a pile of people, probably illegally. The report won&#x27;t reveal anything that we don&#x27;t know generally about.<p>The inaccuracy comes from saying or writing that &quot;the report&quot; will cause unrest and danger to US personnel overseas. A policy of torturing is really what causes that danger, not a pile of paper, or a &quot;word&quot; document.<p>Torture is a bad policy. People that advocate for torture are glossing over a huge pile of problems and immoralities.
