I’ve been watching the flurry of posts and intense debates in comments on the issue of torture here, and wondering, frankly, “What’s going on? Why has this become such a hot topic here?” I’m almost tempted to say it is becoming like torture to read yet one more blog post on torture.

So, I’m curious. Can somebody help me understand how/why this has become such an issue of intense interest, at this particular time, on this particular blog?
