RE: John McCain
Does having gone through torture at the Hanoi Hilton give him especial moral authority on this matter?
It gives McCain less moral authority because he’s extremely and irrationally biased. He can’t think straight.
But I think the torture debate is nothing but show for political games and manipulation.
It’s a stupid discussion. Forget about whether you’re going to get the truth out of a torture victim—you’re going to get even less truth out of John McCain. And even less out of John Brennan.
