Santorum Backtracks On McCain Comments: I Respect His Service But Torture Still Works

The headline is a lie from the far left TPM website. TPM enjoys pitting Republicans against each other.

Santorum never claimed "torture still works". In fact he claimed enhanced interrogation worked. There's a big difference.

"I disagree with Senator McCain's view that the enhanced interrogation techniques used on a select few high-value terrorist detainees were unsuccessful nor do I believe they amounted to torture," Santorum said in a statement Wednesday.

C’mon Senator you should know that
‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ is to torture as
‘choice’ is to abortion.

Yep. Notice they didn’t put it in quotes.

Of course they lie in the headlines. In their book "enhanced interrogation" = torture. They're happy to use Santorum's words to further their agenda.

I can't repeat what I think about the folks at TPM.
