DR: Finally, how many CAPTUSes — people you believe to be innocent men swept up in the CIA “enhanced interrogation” system — are there?

He relates the story of how he came to believe that the man he was trying to “break” was, in fact, innocent and how the bureaucracy wouldn’t not allow that possibility. When people called this thing Kafkaesque, they weren’t being hyperbolic.
