How Long Would Torturing Continue Were It Not Secret?
So many Americans condone the use of torture. OK. Lets show it live on TV then. No one should mind, and after all, its for a good purpose. So let's embed reporters with interrogation specialists; let the cameras roll.

How many Americans would condone torture if they could see it. Not Hollywood, not Clint Eastwood, no John Wayne. Just the kid next door, maybe your kid, maybe my kid, with a pair of pliers, some wire, maybe a hood, and a POW.
