Scaled very well.
I think some thought there may be follow on attacks and we thought we had some people who may know something. In that scenario I could see someone who believed torture worked may authorize in defiance of the law.
I think what you thought some thought is scaled a bit low, but, I think, maybe, its possibly somewhat OK.
But that's not where things stopped.

Yes, it stopped, scale and all. Old news. Oh, wait. It stopped after the original scenario was scaled. But the Dem Senate decided to scale it some more. Starting with a narrow scenario which did not include views of the original scalers. And self-righteously stopped with the self-proud massive scale that the initial scale would never be scaled again because of their one-sided ultimately scaled investigation. With the self-congratulatory admission that their ultimate scaling might actually result in the escalated scaling of radical Islamists in response.
Good stuff, Spence. Very brief and readable.
