Did you read the entire article, or just the snippet posted here? He seemed to be advocating making an adult decision on whether or not we will do what needs to be done, which would include torture, so that those who do what needs to be done (including torture) will not be hung out to dry as they so often are now.
Thank you for reading the entire article.
I’m surprised at the number of people here who didn’t.
I don’t think we should shoot commercial airliners down very often [I think it’s illegal], but the left was sure looking for someone to hang when hijacked airliners were not shot down on 9/11.
You don’t take anything off the table. Trying to ‘outlaw’ water boarding in a spending bill is the reason you can’t trust the left [or John McCain]. I don’t care how long he was a POW, you don’t take torture of enemy combatants [not covered by Geneva Conv] off the table of the President. Just like he can shoot down [or delegate] airliners, he should be able to authorize [or delegate] ‘torture’ [or expanded interrogation procedures] as Commander in Chief as necessary.
I didn’t need to read the entire article, I’ve seen that clown Hunt on TV many times and he is a true blue democrat dressed up in the “I care about the soldiers so lets bring them home” uniform. He purports to be a common man kind of guy, like another democrat named Wesley Clark. I’d rather listen to General Tom McInerney.
