Because it's satisfying, that's why. Because when you have someone who you think is a bad guy in front of you, someone you think is scum, you don't want to befriend them. You don't want to feed them and give them some damn mat to pray on. You want to hurt them. And then hurt them some more. People want torture to be effective for the same reason that people endlessly sift statistics for some sign that capital punishment is effective. Because vengeance is fun.Since the extremist enemies are demons, anything is justified. What in hell does it really matter if it's hot needles under the fingernails, or waterboarding? Demons have to be dealt with. At least we don't behead anybody.
When did doing the right thing become so hard? This whole 'dialogue' we're supposedly having about torture is disgustingly insane.
Rule 1: America is never wrong
Rule 2: If America appears to be wrong, see Rule 1
USA, FUCK YEAH!!!!

That "former" agent has been all over the "liberal media" and they've afforded him so much air time and treated him like some kind of non-partisan wistle-blower. George Orwell, indeed.
