Here's Gorman's money passage, just dropped into the middle of the piece without further explanation or discussion: "One former official said interrogators' faces were visible on at least one video, as were those of more senior officers who happened to be visiting." Happened? Visiting? Keep in mind that we're talking about CIA officials in a torture chamber, not tourists at a local landmark.
When torturing mass murderers ARE torturing and mass murdering, then, people are being tortured and murdered.
What is the problem?
It must be falsehood.
There is no other explanation. The emperor is torturing and mass murdering. I, you, we are next on the list.
The falsehood can be expressed simply as:
Pay or Suffer
The falsehood suggests that there are only two choices when if fact the falsehood removes choice.
Pay and Suffer
or
Punishment
That is the view from a current victim of falsehood. If the potential victim recognizes the falsehood, then, the potential victim can choose from another set of choices such as:
Either you are with us; or you are a terrorist.
or
Torture or be tortured and murder or be murdered.
There is liberty.
Liberty is when a person finds the better of two goods.
Falsehood imposes the least of two evils; assuming that the intent is good.
Falsehood generates the most effective evil - on purpose.
