What does the last 'it' mean?
But even the CIA's defenders are not denying that the CIA tortured lots of people in its attempt to defend Americans. And as Mr McCain argued in his speech, that is bad enough: “The truth is sometimes a hard pill to swallow. It sometimes causes us difficulties at home and abroad. It is sometimes used by our enemies in attempts to hurt us. But the American people are entitled to it, nonetheless.”

Thank you.
