And we still do. There is not a single assertion of fact in the article that torture is being employed.
I know, but the larger issue has arisen lately (on the Today Show of all places, with Alan Dershowitz defending the pro-torture side. He, like some of the brave posters here, favors fingernail-related interrogations in exceptional instances.) To those whose moral compass "tilts" in such a way I was hoping to argue that torture is wrong on procedural grounds: it doesn't work! To think that there exists some infallible truth-gathering technique, one that "forces" people to tell exactly what they know, is breathtakingly naive.
BTW I doubt even Dershowitz really believes what he says (I sometimes think he would smear himself with feces just to get on TV). Hopefully you're right that the sentiment expressed on this thread is simply one of revenge.
