This is how the U.S. treats the contractors responsible for designing its now-defunct torture program:
The CIA agreed to cover at least $5 million in legal fees for two contractors who were the architects of the agency's interrogation program and personally conducted dozens of waterboarding sessions on terror detainees, former U.S. officials said.
The secret agreement means taxpayers are paying to defend the men in a federal investigation over an interrogation tactic the U.S. now says is torture. The deal is even more generous than the protections the agency typically provides its own officers, giving the two men access to more money to finance their defense.
I bet the two soldiers court-martialed for Abu Ghraib are wondering why they didn't just get a degree in psychology first. I'm also wondering to myself how a State Department report on human rights would describe another country that did this.
