The logic of “enhanced interrogation”
A brilliantly logical piece in The Atlantic by Andrew Sullivan.
According to the logic that follows from the Bush administration’s claim that the “enhanced interrogation” techniques they use do not constitute torture:
No war crimes were committed against McCain. And the techniques used are, according to the president, tools to extract accurate information. And so the false confessions that McCain was forced to make were, according to the logic of the Bush administration, as accurate as the “intelligence” we have procured from “interrogating” terror suspects.
