What's Important 23

Twenty-third in a series.

This entry is from The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan, who asks:

How is it possible to know that everything John McCain once said on videotape for the enemy was false, because it was coerced, and yet assert that everything we torture out of terror suspects using exactly the same techniques, is true? ... If McCain uttered lies on tape to stop the torture, why would an Islamist tell the truth?

Which is not to blame McCain in any way for what he did in Vietnam - only for his capitulation to Bush and current support of "creative interrogation"...
