Don't be mad at torturers, given "the tough job those folks had." It's a tough job, writing and approving memos so people can torture people

@emptywheel@onekade It's very interesting that he uses 500K mortality figure. Where did he get that I wonder. -
@Casual_Obs No, I used that. It's the mid-point of estimates, but as@onekade notes, some estimates are 3X that. -
@emptywheel@onekade OK. I didn't see his presser. You wouldn't expect he'd go that high. -
@Casual_Obs Most of what@onekade is riffing on is in this post. http://www.emptywheel.net/2014/08/01/but-brennan-didnt-fuck-his-biographer/ … I was riffing too. -
@emptywheel@onekade Damn. I thought maybe he threw out a number.
