Bob Altemeyer in The Authoritarians
asks, ... "how about a government program that persecutes
political parties, or minorities, or journalists the
authorities do not like, by putting them in jail, even
torturing and killing them. Nobody would approve of that,
right? Guess again. ...
If [you] believe the extreme right-wing elements in America
are still working to take over the country despite the recent
election--nay because of it, ... the authoritarians aren’t
going away.
Yes, the research shows they are very aggressive, but why are
they so hostile? Yes, experiments show they are almost totally
uninfluenced by reasoning and evidence, but why are they so
dogmatic? ... What happens when authoritarian followers find
the authoritarian leaders they crave and start marching
together?"

Defenders of the
so-called enhanced interrogation techniques are fast running
out of classified documents to hide behind. The three that
were released recently by the C.I.A. — the
2004 report by the inspector general and two
memos from 2004 and
2005 on intelligence gained from detainees — fail to show
that the techniques stopped even a single imminent threat of
terrorism.
