A common belief held by Americans is that the United States' claimed exceptional-ism, demands their unconditional support for its serial wars.  Thus, challenging the constitutionality or morality of these wars has become an unthinkable act to most, conditioned Americans.  With the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee's report on torture, directed from the highest levels of the US government, perhaps, more Americans will wake up to the crimes committed by our leaders, and demand peace and justice.  In this podcast, Chuck Carlson discusses an in-depth article, "Why Does America Torture?" by Professor Alan Gilbert of the Denver University School of International Relations.
