Three of the five candidates who showed up for the Fox News debate in South Carolina endorsed waterboarding of terrorist suspects. Among those in favor was Tim Pawlenty, who is the only one of the five widely given a shot at the nomination. Only the libertarian candidates, Ron Paul and Gary Johnson, condemned torture.
This makes me sick. These men are campaigning to make grotesque evil our national policy. How is it that we take them seriously?
Rick Santorum, who claims to be a good Catholic and regularly bashes Catholics who support abortion, also supports waterboarding.
Meanwhile, John McCain adds his weight to those saying that information obtained from torture had nothing to do with catching bin Laden.
