“I think most of us abhor the use of torture.”

I think a lot of people confuse the “torture” that is used to extract legitimate information and the “torture” that is used to punish and intimidate “enemies of the state” in such leftist icons as Cuba, North Korea, Cambodia, Saddam’s Iraq, etc.

Torture is torture. It's always wrong.

Liberals and other weeping Nellies always have that problem.

You hear the same thing from them when we drop bombs and some children die.

These people are moral equivalent people. They see no differenc in Hitler bombing London and us bombing Japan. We're all baby killers, donchano.
