5. I'd like to ask those who said 'yes'
'What do you think about 'commies' and 'nazis' and Saddam Hussein using torture? I bet they are the same people who supported the war because 'Saddam tortures people' and I'm sure they used that as an argument for war at the time.

I wonder if they realize that they sound just like many citizens of countries America has most condemned should they have been asked the same questions. They are excusing war crimes if WE do it, but when others do it, not so much. I bet they talk about America being the best democracy in the world also. But they don't realize how cowardly it is to be willing to throw away all your moral principles, just because you're scared. They really are cowards.

How sad to see anyone in a so-called democracy support torture of any kind, aside from the fact that it doesn't work.

Terrible interviewer imo, she never challenged them with any questions that would have forced them to think. Such as, 'how can America ever again condemn torture then, if we do it ourselves'?
