Torture scars not only its subject, it scars those who perpetrate it and those who are witnesses to it.

That's not the point. We want to protect our guys. This is all about our guys, and our moral standards and our moral standards in the world.

that defined torture and showed that these acts were not torture and that these prisoners were not subject to the Geneva Conventions.

I don't know if scars heal, but I know wounds heal, that's for sure.

They are not scars.

The subject of scars comes up several times. And one of the things that appeals to me is that in the end, there's no promise made that everything's going to be wonderful. There's hope, but there's no promise. You just get the feeling that these people have finally broken through each other's armor.
