Consequence of torture

Accused terrorist Jose Padilla wants to describe how he was treated in a military brig. The government is trying to keep him quiet.

 

Not exactly a stunner, is it? 

 

This is how the Administration's acceptance of torture actually damages our security- people who may have committed or planned terrorist acts against the US cannot be tried because the government does not want to expose it's 'methods.'  Methods being, of course, torture.

 

Torture is never a law enforcement method.  It is an act of cruelty and vengeance.

 

Torture is an injustice to the individuals mistreated.  It is also an injustice to the American people who have their security threatened and their character tarnished.
