Torture...
So, the US government wants to be able to torture people. The fear-- they claim-- is that they might need information quickly. Ticking time bombs and all that. Fine…
If an investigator is certain that torture is necessary, so convinced that without his trusty alligator clips an American city will be lost to nuclear fire, let him go to jail for it. If it turns out that he was right, it’ll be a nice club fed sort of environment. If he was wrong, it’s San Quentin…
Unless… you don’t think the administration just wants to torture people for the sake of torturing them do you?
