There is no line to cross

From last week's Newsweek:

“We have enemies for which no attack is too cruel.” – Republican presidential candidate John McCain, in a major address to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, in which he argued that the United States has a moral duty to remain in Iraq.

Although McCain isn’t specifically referring to torture, his thought process here is the same one being used by the current administration. It is an especially striking quote to come across after reading the torture memo last week.

The government’s overwhelming message is that we have enemies for which no interrogation is too cruel, for which no method is considered torture.
