Ted Cruz's full statement was an indictment of the Democrats' behavior and a forceful and balanced statement on terrorism.

The FR crew here largely shot from the hip without bothering to listen to Cruz's remarks. This thread was a waste of bandwidth and, largely, a betrayal of the greatest defender of conservatism in America.

By the way, Cruz's remarks were an entirely extemporaneous response to a question after a speech on another topic, i.e. no teleprompter.

“Torture is wrong.” - Ted Cruz

Thanks for reminding me of a great line, Ted. I needed a laugh.

Luther(Don Knotts)to the girl he has a crush on: I just love good food.
Girl: Me too!
Luther: Really? You know we’re a lot alike! My mother liked good food too....she always said, “I’d rather have good food than bad food any old day.”

For those who support torture, remember that sooner or later they will use it on the domestic population.

He's right on this. From a purely practical standpoint, you can hurt someone enough that they'll admit to anything to get you to stop. From a Halakhic standpoint, confessions aren't even admissible evidence.

Terrorists have no protection under International Law AFAIK. I believe that they can be summarily executed on the battlefield. The live ones we have are “dead men walking.”

Should a guard from the Hanoi Hilton have observed our interrogations he would have fallen over laughing if told that we were torturing these guys. I can hear him say “That’s not torture. Let me show ya how to do it!”

The whole Senate committee’s purpose was to feed the Democrat meme about GWB.....

They gotta do something their guy really sucks.........no way they can drag Obama up, so I guess they need to drag Bush down..............while they still can.....

Every single one of them Cruz included, CANNOT resist repeating the “politically correct” statement of the moment.
