“...when a society argues about when it is acceptable to torture someone, that culture has already moved to a place where it is corrupted.”
“The debate in the United States has shifted from whether it is ever right to torture someone, but whether this ‘works’.”
“But it is especially disappointing that the defense of torture is being articulated so forcefully in the United States, where it is a founding principle that moral instincts and impulses should be revered.”
David Williamson writes the blog, Van Peebles Land. It is one of my favorites.
