Torture: moral dilema or no-brainer?

A reader emailed us the link to a truly excellent post a couple days ago at a blog called "Chrisco Spins" examining whether America should practice torture and why.

A teaser:

Here’s a question. What if the United States knew that a plane loaded with explosives was headed on a suicide mission toward some target. What if the United States had in custody a man who knew which plane it was and what the target was. What if that man wouldn’t give up that information. What should we be allowed to do to get that information out of him?

My answer… nothing but ask the questions.

I can hear people howling now. At least both my normal readers. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!?! THEY’RE GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!!! BEAT HIM, PUT HIM ON THE RACK, JUST GET THE ANSWERS!!!"

But let me explain...

Go read the rest at Chrisco Spins.
