"Legalizing Torture"

Torture is not legal. Torture is against the law, as is conspiring to commit torture, whether that torture is committed here or elsewhere. Torture is abhorrent and condemnable across time and circumstance.

If anyone has violated that law they are subject to being charged and if found guilty they will pay a price for their actions, until or unless that law is changed. That law has not changed and I would oppose such a change.

A news paper reporter having grave concerns over the secrecy of military operations is not proof of wrong doing. However, if you or anyone has proof this law has been broken, I will gladly support actions against the perpetrators, no matter who they are. Your opinions on torture or political exploitations over vague definitions of torture wont do it. We are a nation of laws, so you'll have to come up with solid proof of criminality.
