For starters let’s have a definition of “torture”! Are we talking water boarding and panties on their head or bamboo shoots under the fingernails and car batteries attached to the genitals.

There can NO discussion of the right or wrong of ‘torture’ until we agree what is and isn’t torture.

This tendency of the Left and MSM to appropriate the language words to their use is typical of their MO. You’ll have a hard time finding someone who approves of torture so all you have to do is call tough measure to extract vital information from captured enemies torture and suddenly we’re on a moral level with our enemies. Same thing with calling approval of abortion for any reason and at any point in the pregnancy ‘choice’.

This is exactly how they demonized Newt Gingrich in the 90’s and until we figure out how to take back the English language it will not end.

As the photos above show, there is an enormous disconnect on what really is torture, and I agree with your comments 100%.
