As Gruber goes before Congress to be drilled for torturing the data about Obamacare in order to deceive the American people, a heavily edited and censored report about actual torture was released by the Senate.
Republican and Democrat reactions have been as predictable as they are hypocritical.
But the most surprising reaction has come from some libertarians who have in the past opposed torture.
More on that in a moment.
But first, the politicians.
Senator Feinstein is sanctimoniously promoting the release as a confrontation of the ugly truth.
History will judge us by our commitment to a just society governed by law and the willingness to face an ugly truth and say never again.
Without any sense of irony or guilt, Feinstein says that on the very same day that the NDAA heads to the Senate floor for the fourth time under her leadership.
It destroys our commitment to a just society governed by the rule of law when it presumes to authorize illegal, unconstitutional actions, like indefinite detention of U.S. citizens by the military without any charges, as well as rendition and presumably enhanced interrogation, federal government's as well as rendition and presumably enhanced interrogation, federal government's euphemism for torture.
She won't face that ugly truth.
She won't say, never again.
But rather, let's do it again.
And of course, after the 1,600-page NDAA was released at 1030 at night, the GOP House passed it just a day and a half later, mocking their pledge of 2010 to always read the bill.
And they're going to do the same thing with the omnibus continuing resolution spending bill, keeping it secret until just a few hours before the vote.
And will the Republican, who's likely to take Feinstein's place on the Senate Intelligence Committee, be any better than Feinstein?
Absolutely not.
Richard Burr will be much worse, having already gone on record saying there shouldn't be any public hearing about what the CIA or the NSA does about anything.
But the most amazing reaction that shows how low America has already sunk into accepting a lawless government comes from the executive director of the ACLU, who previously lobbied Bush to oppose presidential pardons for those who had planned and authorized torture.
Neither Obama nor the Justice Department has shown any appetite for holding anyone accountable.
When the department did conduct an investigation, it appeared not to have interviewed any of the prisoners who were tortured.
And it repeatedly abused the state secrets privilege in order to derail cases brought by prisoners, including Americans, who were tortured as enemy combatants.
But now the ACLU is calling for formal pardons for these people.
Their tortured logic, worthy of John Gruber, is that Doing nothing, as Obama has and will do, is a tacit pardon.
We need to have, they say, an explicit pardon, so we can, as a society, at least acknowledge that laws were broken.
That's it.
No longer any hope of criminal prosecution for leaders and government employees who violate the law, commit treason, and torture people, including American citizens.
No, the best we can hope for is to say it was wrong.
But don't think that you're going to even get that.
In this kind of lawless society, our government no longer has the will to punish cops who murder or politicians who torture and murder.
That's the real ugly truth we have to confront.

The facts are in.
The studies are legion.
Sodium fluoride and other toxic members of the fluoride family are devastating the health and cognitive ability of the American people.
So why are the social engineers adding it to the water?
Simple.
Dumb down the host population that the parasitic technocracy is feeding on.
We may not have been able to get fluoride out of the water supply yet, but we can help to get it out of our bodies.
I am extremely excited to announce the exclusive InfoWarsLife fluoride shield formulation, fusing six of the best documented ingredients from around the world to help the body remove not just toxic fluoride residues from the body, but a whole host of toxic substances.
Let's take a stand against the globalists by blocking their poisons with fluoride shields.
