On Thursday, diarist politicalceci asked Does America Still Care About Torture? I encourage you to read this excellent diary on the revelation of the Yoo Torture Memos (PDF) if you haven't.

From An Interview with Steven Miles: The torture-endangered Society:

Americans have kept the reality of torture far from consciousness. Although we are steeped in fictional torture, we are nearly insensate to the reality of torture. We are unfamiliar with its techniques, its effects on individuals and civil societies, and with how widely it is used.
