Another Torture Stand

"I have come to the conclusion that the vast majority of Americans have absolutely no problem whatsoever with the federal government sanctioning the use of torture as an interrogation technique. And to a certain extent, I understand why this is the case. Americans are, understandably, fearful of another 9/11 (or something even worse).  But we are better than those who seek to destroy us; and engaging in barbarity only serves to transform us into the very thing we claim to be fighting against. "
