We don't let Americans be held accountable for war crimes. So the least we owe our victims is to hear their stories and not look away.

ProPublica came clean about a report that Trump's CIA pick oversaw the waterboarding of a specific detainee. "This error was particularly unfortunate because it muddied an important national debate about Haspel and the CIA's recent history," they stated.
