A. Waterboarding’s not torture.

B. If torture has a possibility of yielding essential information, especially if the target of said torture is an illegal combatant, yes, by all means, us it. It works.

“If torture has a possibility of yielding essential information, especially if the target of said torture is an illegal combatant, yes, by all means, us it. It works.”

Just curious, why do you say “especially if the target of said torture is an illegal combatant . . .”

Why not torture a legal combatant? Do you have any qualms about protecting Americans from attacks from legal combatants?
