#6 Article: "If you torture somebody, they're going to tell you what they think you want to know in order to make the pain stop," he complained.

Actually, confessions are checkable. This is why a confession alone will not get someone convicted in court. Torture doesn't mean we suspend our normal investigative procedures whereby things are checked and cross-checked for consistency. And some things can't really be the subject of a false confession. An arms cache is either there or it isn't. An IED is either there or it isn't. If the guy provides a false series of confessions, it will rapidly become clear that he probably doesn't have any more information to give. This doesn't mean he is innocent. These guys were either captured weapons in hand or have incriminating materials on hand.

#7 Victims of crimes are not allowed on Juries of such crimes courts. Mccain was tortured and therefore has no buisness making judgements on torture he is uncontrolably biased an cannot make a reasoned decision.

Torture is a nessacary evil I believe in Geneva Conventions but only if the other side honors them aswell. Torture does work and yes the enemy does of course tell you lies and what you want to hear at first same thing with regular interogation that is the whole idea of a trained Interrogator and comparing notes you take all the info provided and decide what is real and not confirm this and that confront inconsistancy ect.... its part of the process with or without torture Mccain knows this but pushes the half truth to support his biased view from victimhood.

#8 If anything ever convinces me that we need to ban torture it will be John McCain's endless grandstanding. Every time he opens his mouth it's a crime against humanity.

#11 It will have to snow 2' deep on Graceland before I would ever vote for the misguided photo-op junkie McCain.

#12 Does he have any proof? Or is he just jerking off for the cameras again?

Besides the terrorists do not deserve Geneva Convention protections! In fact unless we strictly deny them the protections (i.e. by executing them as illegal combatants in the field - and then telling EVERYONE about it and WHY!) there is on incentive for anyone else to follow the GC with our soldiers.

#15 McCain's just being a media whore. What is the point of beating this (non)issue into the ground, otherwise?
