On largely party lines, the Democrat-controlled House voted to outlaw using harsh interrogation methods against terrorists.
I’m sorry, but I can’t understand how they could vote in such a way… Five years ago, Democrats wanted to do whatever was necessary America. Now, as 9/11 has faded from their memories, they’ve decided that scoring short term political points with their extremist base is more important than winning the war on terror.
Oh, Democrats can say that using harsh interrogation techniques is torture, that it harms our efforts to fight terror, or that it puts Americans at risk by angering terrorists… but the only way it can anger terrorists is by exposing our interrogation techniques to the world, by, for instance leaking tapes of interrogations to the media — something that only enraged Democrats, clearly disappointed that they lost an opportunity to put our soldiers at risk by leaking those tapes before they were destroyed.
