(We need to prosecute those that instituted and legitimated torture in the previous administration, but just as importantly we need to, as a society and as individuals, reach deep down inside and ask ourselves how we could have let this happen... and go on... and go on. I fervently hope that Barack Obama decides to support the investigation and prosecution of those who instituted and legitimated torture as an official policy/practice. The alternative is social repression and the inevitable return of the repressed.)
