New Post on Torture in the US

[TimKeller]

New post on my blog The Stubborn Mule on torture & its effectiveness as an interrogation technique.

We’ve sacrificed a lot of our American identity under the guise of national security and patriotism. The issue of torturing prisoners is a black eye on our United States. Lawmakers are at odds in Washington over the necessity and the effectiveness, but yesterday the Senate Intelligence Committee finally approved a 6,000 page report on CIA detention and interrogation by a 9-6 vote. Most notably, Sen. John McCain, who was once a POW and victim of torture, was a no vote but showed support and spoke out against the use of torture as an interrogation technique by American forces.

2. Interesting post.

I don;t understand McCain's stance however. He is a known victim of torture and yet he refused to vote against the use of it in America? Many experts acknowledge that the realiability of information rendered by torture is often null and void. It is even worse when you consider that trusting bad intelligence bia torture can have extreme consequences; a double whammy of sorts.
