I find the title disturbing. Maybe my sense of humor is off today, but the whole issue of the US government torturing people, and getting away with it, sickens me. Using the issue for humor in a title implies it's inconsequential at this point; it's too soon and maybe will be too soon until the perpetrators are brought to justice.

It's black humour and has it's place in our culture. >The purpose of black comedy is to make light of serious and often taboo subject matter; some comedians use it as a tool for exploring vulgar issues, thus provoking discomfort and serious thought as well as amusement in their audience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_comedy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_comedy

  Black humor has to still have a joke in it.

    Would you like me to explain the joke?
