John McCain was right about one thing, and he should know... Torture Does Not Work!
- A nearly three-year-long investigation by Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats is expected to find
there is little evidence the harsh "enhanced interrogation techniques" the CIA used on high-value prisoners
produced counter-terrorism breakthroughs.

People familiar with the inquiry said committee investigators, who have been poring over records from the
administration of President George W. Bush, believe they do not substantiate claims by some Bush
supporters that the harsh interrogations led to counter-terrorism coups.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

"Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats" That sounds like a nice unbias opinion by a group of fair minded people.

No sense of torture when you can just drone people without identifying them.  Droning attacks WORK!  They keep us SAFE. And they are much more humane than torture.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
