    Supporting torture?

    Mikes: The fact that you are so clueless that you think torture works and you readily admit your ignorance is amazing. Torture does not work, Israel has learned that, John McCain and other former POWs have argued that. Because it works for Jack Bauer doesn't mean it works in the real world. Actual intelligence and a White House that listened to the warning signs may have prevented 3,000 people from dying, torture would have done NOTHING!
