I just read a really, really long article about the outrageous use of torture by our government during the never-ending, so-called "War on Terror."  Our tax dollars have been used to torture detainees (some of them who have been proven to be entirely innocent) which is a direct violation of international law and the US Constitution.  Those who suffered this brutal treatment are now experiencing long term physical and psychological problems.  The government has stonewalled and tried to keep the details classified.
