That been the problem with all the grandstanding in DC all along. Various irresponsible politicans, egged on by an incompetent “News” media, have thrown around the word “torture” with reckless disregard for the facts.
The USA has not, and does not, use torture.
Of course not. One of the links in the post is an article dating back to when Iraq took Abu Grahib (spelling?) over from the US. All the “tortured” prisoners were REALLY tortrued then and said the Americans were much more humane captors. I am amazed at John McCain using his credibility as a POW who was tortured to claim that my country and his is engaging in practices even remotely similar to what was done to him. This, and immigration is why he will never be president.
I think that's probably true. But I'd be OK with it under some circumstances if it did happen.
To spare suffering of the guilty, if it allows suffering of the innocent, is immoral. IMHO.
