With St. John On My Side

An interesting discussion about McCain and "torture."

John McCain got props all over for his principled stand against torture at the recent Republican debate.

[snip]

There is just the smallest of small problems midst the hosannas - McCain actually *supported* the use of torture in the extreme scenario presented by Brit Hume. Roll the debate transcript, and then roll McCain's follow-up with Sean Hannity (my emphasis added):

SEN. MCCAIN: If I knew for sure that they had that kind of information, I, as the president of the United States, would take that responsibility. That is a million-to-one scenario. But only I would take that responsibility.


What is very interesting are the comments that follow.
