As always, the government imprisons anyone who exposes their illegal activity. The ONLY person in prison related to torture is John Kiriakou who was the whistleblower. This is why real patriots like Snowden cannot return to a country that prosecutes as a crime those who expose the corruption inside government.
Of course when someone imprison women for years like Ariel Castro we see this as a crime. If they work for government they are somehow exempt. There should not be any difference in prosecution and this is why we need MAJOR reform where the right to prosecute must be taken away from government. It is the right of the people – not the privilege of those in power.
