White House, McCain reach agreement on anti-torture amendment - KRT Wire | 12/15/2005 |
"Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said he would try to block the defense bill, which sets policy for the military, unless the White House gives him written assurance that the torture ban would not result in a reduction in intelligence-gathering."
It gives me such confidence to know we have intelligent men like Mr. Hunter chairing our House committees. He wants assurance that a ban on torture will not harm our intelligence gathering efforts. Doesn't he read the concensus which states that torture doesn't produce good intelligence. Apart from the fact that it is morally indefensible, illegal, and appalling stupid strategically, that is. But let's not expect him to have morals, legal sense, or strategic intelligence. Let's just expect him to shut up if he can't say something worthwhile.
