Bombshell: We have torturedby Mark Wilson, Editor
September 26, 2008
John McCain talked tonight about the need to increase our intelligence community’s training “so that we don’t ever torture a prisoner ever again.”
Whaa?!
Did John McCain just admit that the United States has tortured people? And he used the word “torture.” Not “enhanced interrogation techniques.” Torture.

I was shocked!
By the way, didn’t McCain in the last year or two vote FOR “torture” on one particular bill? I know that he had some explanation for the vote, but that’s essentially what it was.
McCain voted against a bill that would limit the “interrogation techniques” the CIA could use to those techniques prescribed by the Army Field Manual. The Army Field Manual does not list waterboarding as an acceptable interrogation method.
