Bring back the waterboard they plead -
A splash of water on the face
Is not so bad and might succeed
In showing where a bomb’s in place.
No way it’s torture, they object
It just enhances our requests
For information we collect
and use for terrorists’ arrests.
You’re wrong, Obama says to them,
It makes a man believe he’s drowned
And all authorities condemn
Its use as torture. We’ll be bound
By long-held precepts that have made
Our nation great; we’ll not descend
To practices our foes displayed
But keep our standards 'til the end.

Not too surprising that this crew of Republican candidates are willing to forsake any of their standards in order to out Tea Party one another, but they should also keep in mind that many terrorism experts simply disagree with torture as it provides false information - i.e. I will say anything you want in order to stop this.
Ai ai ai me thinks that even Karl Rove needs a fifth of scotch to get through these Republican debates.
