Like sea_bicuit, you prefer to skirt the issue and contaminate it with your personal animus toward fellow posters or your partisan bias. The question on the table here is not what a person thinks he knows about torture but what the law is on torture.

1) Torture or conspiracy to commit torture is illegal according to American law.

2) Waterboarding has been raised on more than one occasion to the justice system and has not yet been declared torture.

3) Point one and point two are the only relevant points in this discussion. The fact is waterboarding is not legally classified as torture, so McCain could not have voted 'for' torture as dipy contended at the start.

The rest, as I pointed out is corrupt contamination from you two. You and sea_biscuit long ago disqualified yourselves as judges of moral compassing.

If you think our justice system or its representatives have failed in this regard, that is a separate topic. Disentangle your prejudices and you may be able to make a coherent contribution to the discussion.
