Pandering to the conservative loyalty gene. It's disloyal to make us look bad, the loyalty instinct says. But coming clean is actually good for repairing our reputation, for having moral credibility in the future.

The thinking of the naysayers on the USA owning up to a wrong, is it is better to torture kill abuse in general the same tactics we hung Axis members in WWII for doing? But to then tell the world we did it is wrong? I say if we had not done it in the first place then we would not have to cover it up and lie about it or rationalize it use either.

Just how we react when it happens to our citizens should be enough to prove this point.

It's simple. We were either the good guys or we weren't. We're either the good guys now, or we're not.

The party line is that it's over and if it happens now, it's because of an over-zealous individual who went out of control. Of course we never hear about any of those types getting caught out at it. Perhaps because it just never happens anymore.
