On one side of that divide are psychopaths and sadists
on the other is the rest of humanity

anyone who doesn't get that torture is wrong, period, has an incurable moral defect of character

about the report -- not stunned me, because pretty much every bit of it did that -- but surprised me (because I did not anticipate it) was how quickly it became a partisan issue.

Even Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham spoke against it (torture, not the timing of the report).

But their sycophants have not. Quite the opposite. Tell me I was naive not to anticipate that, okay. I still don't get it. And this from the party of family and moral values, mind you.
