I heard Rush say today that McCain admitted to giving up information as a reslut of being tortured.

And now McCain says we shouldn't torture terrorists because it doesn't work.

Put that guy in a rubber room.

And now McCain says we shouldn't torture terrorists because it doesn't work."""

US intelligence services have traditionally said that torture doesn't yield reliable "confessions" and information -- i.e., it doesn't work.

But in any case, the reason we shouldn't torture is because torture is for regimes like North Vietnam - the animals who caged our military men and treated them inhumanely. The military of the United States - the military founded by Washington, and led by the likes of Grant, Pershing, MacArthur, Eisenhower -- does not torture. McCain is against torture, I hope and believe, because it is wrong and it would dishonor this nation and our noble military.

Initially McCain said he gave up ship positions in exchange for medical treatment as soon as he was captured.
