It seems to me that if the people support it, then there is no reason to pussyfoot around and open prisons in Romania.

Change the federal law that prohibits it, close GTMO, and fly the intended victims right into the States.

I would have been interested to see the numbers for Germany.

It doesn't surprise me that the Italians and Spanish are strongly opposed to torture under all circumstances, while majorities of the French and British support it when necessary. I believe that I saw death penalty statistics that were similar, with the Southern Europeans outright opposing it, and majorities of the British and French both supporting it.

I would be interested in seeing the statistics for Germany.

Unnecessary. "Illegal" is not a synonym for "impossible".
