Don’t try to justify torture
It’s distressing to hear conservatives on cable TV defend the idea that it is ever OK to torture prisoners. The term now is “enhanced interrogation techniques,” but the euphemism is far too vague. It covers everything from keeping prisoners isolated between interrogations to near-drowning or shackling people, naked, to the ceiling for hours at a time.
