[asa] Torture

In the NYT Sunday Book Review
'The Dark Side'
By JANE MAYER
Reviewed by ALAN BRINKLEY

This book recounts the emergence of the use of torture as a central
tool in the fight against terrorism.

Worth reading. DEFINITELY not worth burning (tossing).

Can anyone envision Jesus ordering torture?

Can anyone here envision ordering torture themselves?

Is it a black/white issue? Or are there shades of gray?

I have you tied up in my jail cell. I am 99% sure you know where the
bomb is that will blow up St. Louis in the next hour. I see no
alternative but to get this information out of you by any means
possible. Do I still rule out torture?

What would Jesus do? Billy Graham? Your kindly grandmother? Your
favored presidential candidate?

What if the city were Mecca? Do the answers change?
