I agree the people who signed off on this decision should be brought to trial, but I am not to sure that they intended the outcome that occurred. This is still no excuse for a decision that will kill 10,000s of innocent children.

We prosecute people for negligence for way less impactful decisions. Whoever signed off on that decision either weighed the consequences of their actions and decided that was worth it or they were so incompetent that they didn't even think about it. Considering they're responsible for one of the premiere spy networks on the planet, I'm going to guess they're pretty intelligent. So that leaves one option.

It is hard to know without a full trial. This is the one thing that should happen, but if torture can be swept under the rug with nobody being held responsible I am not too hopeful :(

The Taliban/Al Qaeda are evil, not the CIA.

Why not both?

A fair point. I'm sure they have done some evil stuff. But then I read this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-30491435

Hundreds of children dead in a school attack versus millions dead because trust in vaccines is destroyed. I don't see the "but."

Oh, if only things were so black and white what an uncomplicated world we'd be living in. Unfortunately the reality you describe is not the reality we live in.

True enough, but I'm not fully on board with moral relativism either. "The West" (if not the CIA) is on the side of good, and AQ/The Taliban/ISIS obviously is not.

Nobody is in the "side of good", everybody is in their own side, that's all. If you think killing 130 hospital patients is bad then this is a bit tad worse: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4068.htm
