The Senate report on the CIA's interrogation of terrorist leaders after 9/11, has, once again, proven that the America left has no concept of the realities of the world we live in, and the American People OVERWHELMINGLY disagree with them:

The left you say?
“Ratification of the Convention by the United States,” Reagan continued, “will clearly express United States opposition to torture, an abhorrent practice unfortunately prevalent in the world today"-Ronald Reagan on the U.S. ratification of the international Convention Against Torture, which he signed in 1988

And yet those same people will want to start another war if another country tortured an American citizen.

I will assume this works both ways and those who support torture would have no problem with it happening to them as well. War is hell and maybe lives will be saved, etc. etc.

The people were not asked if torture was justified:

A majority of Americans think that the harsh interrogation techniques used on terrorism suspects after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were justified.

The author of the article is just spinning people's answers and the questions to fit his own views.

It's the credo of most IMO. Random drone drops were a problem until Obama did it also.
