How the heck would he know anything that is going on in the Bush administration. What's he been doing since he was in the failed Carter administration. What is it with these old guys.
Exactly. I would bet that Turner has essentially no idea what the CIA is doing today in the war on terror.
The left is trying to change the definition of the word torture in the same way they're trying to change the definition of marraige. The left wants to define torture as any form of physical discomfort during an interrogation. If we make someone stand up for three hours, that is "torture" to the left. If we make someone uncomfortably hot or cold for a while, that is "torture" to the left. Although I have read about a couple of instances when the heat was turned up too high for too long, in principle the idea of making someone feel too hot or cold is not torture. While we do have to keep these interrogation practices under control, mild physical discomfort is not torture.
Real torture is when a group of men crash a jet plane loaded with fuel into a building and soak the people inside in burning jet fuel so that all their skin peels off of them, and after that the building collapses and crushes them under tons of concrete and steel. That's real torture. That's what the CIA is working to prevent.
