If not, there is suddenly no difference between "the good guy" and "the

I don't need to convince people whose morality says no torture ever.

But for those who believe that National Security overrides morality -
I have the argument - which is pushed by people such as John McCain -
that torture does not help our National Security, but in fact hurts
it.


Put simply, there are crimes against men, and there are crimes against
humanity ... torture is against humanity. Its' evil permeates every
level of evil with exists.

The fact that serial killers would pay you for the job of torturing
those people it would committed on is a good indication of just how evil
it is ...
