I think (and maybe hope) that we will not stoop to retroactively criminalizing behavior. You may disagree with waterboarding, but you can't decide now that it was illegal and prosecute people for it. You might think cigarettes should be illegal, but they aren't today, and you can't decide 5 years from now to imprison people who sold cigarettes today.
I do not believe that anyone will be found guilty of any crime related to the interrogation techniques. There may be people who are forced to resign, but if any cases make it to court, I believe they will be thrown out.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
