I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. N.Y. Times 10/12/24 - The Senate Report on the C.I.A.’s Torture and Lies “The world has long known that the United States government illegally detained and tortured prisoners after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and lied about it to Congress and the world. But the summary of a report released Tuesday of the Senate investigation of these operations, even after being sanitized by the Central Intelligence Agency itself, is a portrait of depravity that is hard to comprehend and even harder to stomach”. [source] Reacting the wrong way, with regard to the recent release of information about C.I.A.'s torturing could lead, unintentionally towards a true catastrophe. Some times it's better to keep silent. According to my opinion, there are some related principles and some related priorities. Principles:
Priorities:
To those who rushed to criticize the U.S.A. administration and to those who rushed to express their astonishment, I wish to address some questions:
I kindly ask everyone to exercise circumspection, with regard to the torture's revelations. And if they find difficult to do show, then, it might be helpful for them to try to put themselves in the position of those who have been tortured in the past, and/or in the position of those who are presently being tortured: How much might they needed this revelation process to become completed if themselves have been tortured for e.g. 35 years; how much, if they had survived from, even e.g. 39 assassinations attempts against them? The rescuing of human lives and the restoration of the freedom of people which are being oppressed, are more important than abusing this opportunity, just for consuming emotions of hatred. There are a lot of things, still, waiting to be done. Therefore, for the time being, we better keep completely silent about this issue, and also, let us give “space”, time and good faith, in order for the U.S.A. to do their duty. Well done, U.S.A.
