When the media feel obliged to provide a pro-torture viewpoint for “balance,” your country has gone insane.
Looking forward to some lively debates on the pros & cons of rape and murder. Should be any day now.

I think Rachel needs to spend some quality time with those CIA swim instructors. Preferably, it will be a surprise.
Larry Johnson featured a great article on this subject, BTW, by a guy who used do torture resistance training for the military:

This once again fits the pattern of Republicans who abandon their crazy positions and take up the liberal ones when their actual life history gives them perspective: i.e., McCain. It’s a rerun of Bob Dole and the Americans With Disabilities Act, and a hundred other such stories.
I always thought it would be funny to see equal time given to pro-drug points of view on the evening news, just because I always wanted to see Dan Rather report a huge drug bust and then say, “On the other hand, kids, heroin makes you feel as warm and sweet as fresh-churned butter on Gramma’s porch.”
