Romney vs. McCain on Waterboarding



Romney says he's opposed to torture, but won't say whether certain techniques qualify as torture, for fear that the enemy will know of and prepare themselves for what we do. His position: trust us blindly not to torture, cause we say we don't, though we'll not be saying what we do.

Good for you, McCain, for not dancing around the issue. Remember: waterboarding is actual drowning done to simulate death; it can cause severe physical and mental pain. It is by definition torture, regardless of what the President or Governor Romney says (or won't say). It has a legal history in even Texas as being a crime.
