Justice for me would be admissions and apologies from the people who just tortured me and broke my life, because they could. I think Stephanie got the justice this world has to give her.

Matthew Archambeault
What is the logical extension of the argument that it's wrong to ever under any circumstances reveal classified information?

He was held there for a couple of months. Every day an officer would come onto the field with a loudspeaker and announce the names of the people who had to line up to be tortured.
