I do not endorse torture, just effective questioning.

How do you think we should get intel from a captured prisioner?
Is it OK to detain and question known enemy leaders ?


Again, it depends on the President's definition of torture, doesn't it?
I think most Americans would define torture far short of the definition in
the Yoo/Bybee memo.

And consider this, if the interrogation methods aren't legal, then there is
a very good chance that the evidence obtained is not legal. Clearly, the
14 prisoners being transferred to Guantanamo are very dangerous. It would
be a terrible injustice if this administration's bungling allows them to
escape justice.
