I see. Well, I don't doubt that some of the candidates support torture. That doesn't establish policy or represent the views of anyone but the individual candidate and those who support that candidate for holding those views.

I am on record as opposing torture and although I always claim the option to change my mind on any issue when new information or circumstance justifies it, I have not changed my position on this issue and don't expect to be persuaded to do so.

There is a certain kind of nobility a soldier may possess regardless of which cause or side of an issue they may be defending. There is nothing honorable about torture and it is never justified by any incidental cause, it is in fact abhorrent to all of humanity across time and circumstance; and is, therefore, condemnable in all occurrences.
