Interesting, given that John McCain has been tortured, that he remains consistently opposed to America’s employing of torture. He’s not been swayed by the dubious narrative about torture yielding bin Laden:
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) took to the Senate floor Thursday to condemn waterboarding and other torture techniques, saying that the debate over these techniques is ultimately “about morality. What is at stake here it the very idea of America.”
“The America,” he continued, “whose values have inspired the world and instilled in the hearts of its citizens the certainty that no matter how hard we fight, no matter how dangerous our adversary, in the course of vanquishing our enemies we do not compromise our deepest values.“
On this issue, I could not agree with him more. I find it surprising that more conservatives do not hold the same position.
