I'm not American, so I don't lie on either side of your partisan politics. When the news of this report came out, I had two reactions: it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know and who cares?
I love the moral high grounders who repeatedly chastise the CIA for "stooping to the level of the enemy". But I liken it to the Bills playing the Patriots, except the Bills are bound by rules and the Patriots play without that restriction (which isn't far fetched). If the Patriots are allowed to play dirty, deliver cheap shot after cheap shot and commit PI at will, they will win. Sure, the Bills suffered 7 career ending injuries, but hey, at least the Bills played fair. I don't get that.
If you want extremism to win, continue to play by the rules and display a naive attitude that extremists laugh about. But I'd prefer western leaders get in the gutter to win this war. It's not about being better than that. It's about winning.
