Here's a good metaphor for our post-9/11 torture:
I’m struggling with getting a metaphor in this that fits. I’m leaning toward the whole Nazi thing, but the indictment of the German people in WWII exceeds that of the US by a lot. Still, it seems to work.. Tenet and Rummy and Dick were the gang meeting at the Palace at Wannsee to decide on a final solution. Bush was the paranoid inspiration of the whole thing. The CIA professionals at Langley and at various HQ elements were the SS Leadership, the Eichmann’s making certain that the trains were on time. The CIA/Seal/Delta/Blackwater/ Freelance assholes who did the torturing were the Totenkopf SS, violating the laws of warfare, Geneva Conventions, Treaties and I think the principles that the nation has espoused since it was founded.

Substitute "Palestinians" or "Muslims" for the subject of this video and imagine that the meeting is taking place at CIA headquarters, and the metaphor becomes complete:
