This bill is yet another hinderance in our prosecution of the war. Even if we as a country agreed that we would not torture these people, why on earth would you ever let the enemy know that option is off the table?
I also love how the conclusory statement "torture doesn't work" is used as support for the bill. What basis is there for the statement? Last week's episode of Commander-in-Chief.
How come Hired Goons always seem to find a way to get people to pay gambling debts even if they don't have the money?
Those who say torture doesn't work hasn't had enough of a taste of it to be convinced otherwise.
Having your hands and feet tied to four corner posts, having a board placed on your chest, and having about 35lbs placed on that board, and letting you recline in such comforts for about four hours will generally result in getting anything you want to know out of someone.
That made me a believer, and it didn't leave a mark.
