Who Will Torture the Torturers

Among the normal debate pablum (which you get from both sides, of course) of the second Republican presidential candidates debate (search for the term “suicide bombers) there was an extraordinary series of responses to a question about torture. Only John McCain stood up using torture, even in the war on terror. The rest of the clowns put their ignorance on full display… the sickest being those who tried to weasel out of it by saying they would support “any method possible” and “enhanced interrogation techniques” but “not torture.” Yeah, that makes sense. The pandering to the crowd by people like Romney is really no different than that practiced by the terrorist leaders they so despise.
