I think most of us abhor the use of torture.

But a lot of people in govt need to realize that, under the right situation, torture can be a successful means of finding out what the enemy is up to.

If the use of torture saves the lives of American soldiers and civilians, I have no problem with it.

“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.
