George Will: Release of Torture Report ‘on Balance, Good’ for the Country (National Review Online)

Columnist George Will broke with a number of his conservative colleagues on Sunday, calling the release of the Senate’s CIA torture report “on balance, good” for the country.

While many conservatives have portrayed the Democrat-led committee report as partisan, inaccurate, and unnecessarily divisive, on Fox News Sunday Will explained that “the default position of a free society is, more information is better.”

“We’re having a very interesting argument today, and it serves the country,” he said. “The argument at one level is about whether these techniques work. We ought to know that, because this is not the last time we will be wounded as a nation.”
