Torture Revisited

NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/28/business/media/28abc.html?_r=1&hp How ’07 ABC Interview Tilted a Torture Debate By BRIAN STELTER Published: April 27, 2009 In an article about a lying moron, Mr. Kiriakou, we see: But the recent Justice Department memo has led some commentators to revisit their earlier impressions about the technique. “I’ve always been on the fence about whether waterboarding constituted torture,” Mr. Goldberg of the National Review wrote last week, but if the figures are true, “then I think the threshold has been met.” He added: “Debating whether it was worth it still seems open to debate, depending on the facts.” What interesting debaters these conservatives must have been in university. I wonder exactly when they traded God's morality for that of Power?

As you've doubtless noticed, I'm beyond appalled at the idea that there could be any debate involved with this subject. I think it stands as the shining beacon of our descent into utter depravity.
