They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

100% true.
When I first brought my (southern) wife to my (new yorker) grandmother's Thanksgiving. As a guest at a party, she brought a dish: macaroni and cheese. My grandma was a little snobbish and offended.
The macaroni was the first dish emptied, and became a staple over grandma's veto.

It’s the post 9-11 torture memos redux - except with those unpunished outrages as the baseline from which they now escalate to the next level of bogusly “justified” lawlessness.
The memo purportedly justifying these murders also contains a lengthy section that lays out arguments defending the actions of those carrying out the strikes. In short, it *preemptively* defends them from potential prosecution later.
