Torture is already illegal.
However ... certain foreign governments, self-appointed human-rights organizations and politicians have made the claim to advance their opposition to the war.

I am also aware that the al-Qaeda handbook directs detainees to claim torture regardless of the nature of their treatment.

We ought not set national security policy based, even in part, on these considerations.

Thanks for the great articles Buford.
