Default Re: POLL Should WE USE TORTURE - YES or NO

John McCain had an article in Newsweek where he questioned the use of torture exactly because in his experience it yielded bad information. Whatever you think of the publication, I have great respect for Sen. McCain. Also, when my son was stationed with a Blackhawk group in Korea, I was surprised at how many of the pilots -- not exactly a liberal bunch -- were horrified at the prospect. So, hypotheticals to me make little sense in this case. People who have much more experience than I question the efficacy. I was repeating their question.
