So, what we're basically saying is the only words in 23 pages (albeit short pages) that are not a threat to national security are "Interrogators are required to sign a statement certifying they have read and understand the contents of the folder?"
Really?
And now the evil doers know there's a statement these guys have to sign. Can't the evil doers now say before we start kicking them in the groin, or tying their testicles to electrical wires, or pretending to kill them, or playing loud dentist office music "hey, let me see that paper you signed?" If this is not something to keep secret, I'm not sure what would be. Who are these censors anyway? We need to talk.
Did no one use "the" in 23 pages? I mean in the clause that was permitted "the" is used twice and for the next 23 pages it's never used?
Really?
Was there not another instance in the entire 23 pages where there's a chance to indict the interrogators for not adhering to the guidelines they signed and not reading the folder?
Really?
And "and" was never used? No use of "it?" Not a single "then?"
Really?
I don't mean to nitpick, but this is what Culp would do in I Spy. He and Cosby would have some case they were working on and they'd be bantering good-naturedly back and forth while their nemesis would be executing his plan to destroy the world and Culp and Cosby weren't bantering at all. They were actually nitpicking, nitpicking, nitpicking until "ah ha, I've got it."
So, as an intelligence technique nitpicking is hard to beat.
I nitpick. It's what nitpickers do. So in 23 pages we have only 18 words that are not a threat to national security and we can allow everyone to read?
Really?
