Torture Is Us
By Flavius on Fri, 05/06/2011 - 12:08pm |Let's review the bidding.
o Around 8 years ago torture produced some facts which did not lead to Osama.
o Last year without torture we learned some things which did.
o We don't know the decisiveness of those 8 year old facts.Maybe they were crucial in causing us to focus on something we might have overlooked. Or merely interesting :"oh, there's that guy again".
o We won't be told by the Govt. We'll learn from a leak.
If they turn out to have been consequential we should admit that Facts are facts.We can allow that to influence our actions. Or not. I believe we shouldn't.
Either way John Yoo will advocate torture. .
