Image is of an interactive display at the International Spy Museum in Washington. On either side there are two circles under the heading "tap to cast your vote". One circle says "yes willing" and the other says "no not willing".
The text box in the centre says "Would you be willing to have the US government torture suspected terrorists if they may know details about future attacks? Express your opinion"

Great to host Dr Kate Cronin Furman yesterday, chaired by CVTRC Fellow @michael-spagat.bsky.social. Kate's talk explored how state perpetrators of mass atrocities use denials alongside info access restriction to create a heightened burden of proof on the world stage for victims and their allies....
