Krauthammer on Torture

Charles Krauthammer examines the McCain amendment banning torture in the Weekly Standard, and finds that McCain's absolutism has more to do with the moral high ground rather than any practical realities.

I agree.

Thumbs up to Dick Cheney for going out on a limb and being one of the only voices in Washington who is suggesting that the US must reserve the right to act in some unnice ways in order to procure information from terrorists which may prevent some future mass murder against civilians.

It's not a stark choice, as Krauthammer points out.
