WTF!! Santorum Says McCain "Doesn't Understand Enhanced Interrogation"?

Well its pretty simple here Santorum not tortured for several years. John McCain Torture for several years. So who is the expert on what is and what is not torture. That would be John McCain having gone through several years of it until he finally broke under the massive amount of torture that he received over those several years. McCain is right it has no place in being a part of our interrogation. Not to mention that it is against the Geneva Convention a thing the United States signed and agreed to follow and so did several if not all the other nations on the planet. Now the terrorist may not be one nations soldiers but they are POWs and should be treated as such.

I too am from good old Pennsylvania and I did not vote for Santorum. I did not like most of what he had to say and although I do not completely agree with either side here seeing them as both going too far in their own thoughts I would never disrespect any veterans beliefs especially in a public fashion such as this. He may have made vague apologies but he needs to make more.

Lets see who has a better grasp on the subject of enhanced interrogation and how it works, Rick Santorum, a lawyer, politician, and political pundit John McCain, a POW who was held captive by a country that wasn't apart of Geneva Convention, and politician. I am going to answer John McCain.

I am getting sick of giving people protection under the Geneva Convention when they clearly are not afforded protection. My next question of what value are all the Geneva Conventions if nothing is done to those who violate it. Senator McCain was a Military man in a Uniform and experienced years of torture at the hands of Vietnam (twice a signatory of the Convention). The US followed the rules for captured soldiers and government officals. The people we are talking about are not covered by the Geneva Convention I - IV or Protocol I, II, or III. These people have no rights under those documents. The US is exceeding by far what we are required to do. Our Government has punished those who violated the rules, (Senator McCain how many of your torturers were charged and punished?). The last time I saw pictures of detainees they all seemed to have their bodies in tact, being fed better than the troops guarding them and receiving good medical attention. The political leaders need to look at the news reports of US POW being returned after a war and see how they were treated and then compare that to the detainees in Gitmo.

Is this not the same Rick Santorem we Pennsylvanians came to know and not love? lol I've said it before and I will say it here, his sneer alone was enough for me to despise him. Hopefully, these recent comments will allow people on both sides of the aisle to see that he is a jackass.

Hi Annie! Santorum is a loser has been to begin with! These republicans will say anything, anything to take credit away from President Obama, you know, the one that was "concerned" about bringing OBL to his justice! They have publicly confessed to the criminal offense of torture to make their ridiculous point which has been debunked! What's absolutely astounding is that Santorum has zero personal experience from which to draw! Take care.

I agree Annie definitely idiotic. Who better to understand enhanced interrogation than someone who has them-self been subject to torture. It seems that some politicians have a real problem keeping their pants zipped and thinking before they speak.

Hey Annie, now we get a chance to agree on something twice in a row. Santorum is a freaking MORON. I've been waiting for an opportunity to agree with you on that ever since he started this stupid presidential bid. God help me if he actually wins the nomination. I think he is officially the WORST candidate in the primaries right now with Gingrich as a close second. Now I respectfully disagree with McCain on the waterboarding issue. I don't think it qualifies as torture as defined by the Geneva Convention. I also feel that the other techniques used, like putting a caterpillar in the room or making the detainees listen to Nine Inch Nails, qualify as torture either. I also believe that while the information that led to bin Laden's whereabouts wasn't derived directly from waterboarding, that it was part of what got the information just as the popular "Good cop/Bad cop" routine gets information. You don't just pretend that Bad Cop is useless because the Good Cop is the part of that routine that actually nets information. My opinion on it all though, is if you are against it on moral or legal grounds, use moral and legal arguments. Don't argue that it doesn't work. If it didn't work, they'd have given up on it a long time ago. Obama's own people have admitted that we got critical information from waterboarding. If torture didn't work, Obama wouldn't be using rendition so other countries would do our dirty work for us.

Rick Santorum is ignorant times 1 billion.
