McCain against torture

2014-12-10 16:42:56.259271+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

John McCain makes passionate defense for torture report's release.

Yes. We have due process and the rule of law for a reason. Pretending that somehow these things should only apply to some citizens, based on the beliefs of a group of rogue psychopaths, is bad for us as a nation. It's already resulted in bad intelligence that's guided policy in ways that have harmed the United States irreparably. Torture is witch-finding, and we should have left that behind back in the 1600s.
