[Future Snake Eater]

Cain proclaimed, “I do not agree with torture. Period. However, I will trust the judgment of our military leaders to determine what is torture and what is not torture.” Huh?

How is this a "huh?" moment? What he said was perfectly clear, but I guess Kevin Hall failed most of his classes which is why he's a journalist.

“I do not agree with torture. Period. However, I will trust the judgment of our military leaders to determine what is torture and what is not torture.” . . .What he said was perfectly clear,

He was saying that if the military leaders determine an action that imposes pain and discomfort on someone is "not torture" it's not torture.

He was being Humpty Dumpty: “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

One of Cain's big problem for me is that he doesn't think through what he says, and what he says comes out it ways he probably doesn't mean.

The military does not determine what is torture. Lawmakers for the various nations and courts do.

Exactly. Cain can be against torture and allow our military do what it needs to do. The waterboarding is a good example. Some call it torture and Cain explained that he considers it a enhanced interrogation technique. There is no reason why our troops should be held to a different standard than their enemies. How can they fight to win with their hands tied behind their backs.
