The paradox and the dissonance
The sound:
We cannot imprison Guantonamo detainees on American soil.
The fury:
We welcome American Torturers back into our communities.
Not only do we welcome them back to our communities, we give to some a place in the bureaucracy of our nations' government; others remain accredited by their professions.
Two exercises:
1) Develop the relevant Idiocy Index
2) Informed by that index, assume the role of the Sarcastic Fool and offer commentary
That's politics. You're welcome.

Excellent comparison! I had a similar thought. And this is so apt!
Yup, torturers... could be living in your neighborhood.
Not only that, folks with PTSD could be as well. And PTSD, sadly, could result in violence.
