The use of torture has been shown time and again to be ineffective. Most professionals have made this point.

Besides, it's illegal. And immoral.

Mr. Trump should be asked a hypothetical question: If you were president and you ordered the military and/or the CIA to use "enhanced interrogation techniques," do you think you'd be able to visit your golf courses in Scotland and not be arrested for war crimes?

There's a reason that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, et al. cannot leave the United States.
