The article notes Virginia’s 2.25 percent share applies to costs and debt.

The piece critiques Wilson and Udall as out of step with public opinion in Britain and America.

He notes Amnesty and Red Cross reports, cites Kennedy Rider criticism, and argues that ideology taints assessments while suggesting torture may be less than systematic and improving. He cites congressional probes and El Mercurio coverage in Chile.
