Let's face it - war and torture to the right has always been about trying to 'feel' powerful in a big scary world, the big scary world that 9/11 brought in.
Remember, we are not talking about torturing people who actually have cut off peoples heads and we're certainly not talking about a 'ticking time bomb' scenario. We're talking about torturing as a means to obtain intelligence from various slobs who are probably guilty of little more than having a misguided sense of nationalism for the 3rd-world country in which they were born. It's sure to win hearts and minds...
Oh, and the one's we don't torture, we just keep them locked-up indefinitely without any legal recourse because we 'suspect' they were up to no good.
Such is the emotionalism that drives the right, sigh.
