They did that twice that I saw.
In the debate that was just between Cain and Gingrich, several people commented that Cain hesitated and waited for Gingrich to answer first, before Cain knew what he wanted to say. So it looked like the moderators of last night's debate threw questions to Cain first so he wouldn't have the crutch of hearing other responses first (let him walk the plank alone, so to speak). Cain did just fine on those attempted gotcha questions.
Cain wasn't afraid to take a stand, such as on water boarding. He didn't wait to see how the audience reacted, he said what he believes.
And for the author of this article to say that he doesn't understand Cain's stance on torture, the author is either dense, or he's just trying to bash Cain - or both. Cain said he is against torture. But Cain doesn't know ALL the possible interrogation techniques (again, he doesn't have Top Secret clearance, and I WANT those techniques to remain secret, so let's not talk about them during televised debates!). So Cain also said he will trust his military advisers on what is torture and what is not torture. What is so hard to understand about that? I like sleep, so sleep deprivation would be "torture" to me, but I really don't consider that to be "torture".
Torture is cutting off someone's head while they are still alive, with a dull knife, while they are gurgling and drowning in their own blood. And if anyone needs to be reminded what our enemies would be happy to do to us, we can pull out some of those beheading videos for everyone to watch.
Enough soapbox from me for now. :-)
And that's the damned truth.
