that this episode in our history will have. I doubt many people will be cognizant that these deeds were done in their name. Some won't care because they were bloodthirsty for some form of revenge or retribution and couldn't care less if there was no actionable or valuable intelligence gained. Someday, however, the price of forfeiting any moral standing or perhaps even bearing the brunt of someone else's desire for revenge or retribution will exact a price. To those of us who do understand this, we know how we have been diminished as human beings, as a nation and as individuals. We will never regain what was lost.
