INTERESTING QUESTION

(h/t emptywheel)

Walter Pincus seems to be the CIA's main MSM outlet for apologetics about torture and in this article, he has a very interesting quote:
Former CIA director Michael V. Hayden said in an interview that CIA managers and operations officers have again been put "in a horrible position." Hayden recalled an officer asking, "Will I be in trouble five years from now for what I agree to do today?"

If these tactics were that iffy, shouldn't some have refused to carry them out or leak to the press about this?
