torture

To the amazement of the audience, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said, with a twinkle in his eye, that "Americans don't mind torture, they really don’t." Then he smiled broadly, almost gleefully, and said that the US had used certain interrogation techniques on "Shaikh Mohammed, one of the "high value" targets," techniques that "you really don't want to know about, but they got really good results."

So what's the problem? With torture, you can get a subject to confess to anything and everything just to stoop the torture.

That's the problem, AND it is a sick society that condones it.
