8. It hasn't and will not happen because they do not want the world to know just how bad it was.

One of the reasons the CIA destroyed the tapes was to prevent the world and us from knowing what went on as well as insulating the actual torturors.
Also, too many people at the highest levels, including Bush and Cheney would have to go down. Our systemic corruption of our elected officials, judges, Wall Street, and the media cannot come fully out in the open. AMERICANS are not yet ready to deal with the legal bribery of our politicians with campaign contributions even though it is no secret, that is why it persist. Even many here at DU would rather bitch about it and turn right around and blindly support corrupt Democrats who only answer to Donors and could care less about us.
