Via Making Light and Carpetbagger Report, an Air Force interrogator smacks down the idea that torture can work in a "ticking bomb" situation.
Why isn't the Democratic response to these chickenhawks simply this?
- Torture doesn't work.
- Torture is immoral. There's no room for relativism here.
- Torture puts our troops at risk. If we torture, we pretty much guarantee that our troops will be tortured. If you're pro-torture, you're against the troops.
This seems obvious to me. Am I missing something?

I think it's more Battered Nerd Syndrome.

The Republican Slime Machine is going to go after all the Democrats anyway, so they might as well do something useful.
Like redirecting a space laser to explode a house with popcorn?
That's only in the movies dude. ;^)
I was thinking more like ending the Occupation of Iraq. Knowing the Democrats, they'd give the space laser to Rudy Giuliani.
