If anyone can listen to Hillary's voice, then torture is a cakewalk.

Hmm. I have no problems with torture of criminals, as well, but it must be prescribed by a judge.

I wish they would tell us what 'torture' they are doing; are we talking sleep deprivation/drugs or tearing out thumbnails

Torture is an instrument of necessity, not consensus, which waxes and wanes.
After a couple more 9/11's, everyone would support it. The problem is that the next 9/11 may look more like Hiroshima, and our government can't afford to wait.

It seems to me that if the people support it, then there is no reason to pussyfoot around and open prisons in Romania.

Change the federal law that prohibits it, close GTMO, and fly the intended victims right into the States.

I would have been interested to see the numbers for Germany.

It doesn't surprise me that the Italians and Spanish are strongly opposed to torture under all circumstances, while majorities of the French and British support it when necessary. I believe that I saw death penalty statistics that were similar, with the Southern Europeans outright opposing it, and majorities of the British and French both supporting it.

I would be interested in seeing the statistics for Germany.

So our elected Republican "leaders" capitulate to who? Us? (nope) The French? (nope) The British? (nope again) The South Koreans? (bzzzz! 'wrong answer, Hahns'!)

Our Republicans capitulate to only the Democrats.

To date I have not heard a single allegation that any US forces tortured anyone.

Nothing that rises above the level of a fraternity initiation has been alleged.
