Romney: It's not torture unless you admit it

CNN's Wolf Blitzer assails GOP presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney over his lack of a definite opinion on whether the widely debated interrogation method known as "waterboarding" is torture.

Even as competitor and Arizona senator John McCain, along with United States Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell, define "waterboarding" as torture, Romney remains strategically undecided.

"I just don't think it's productive for a president of the United States to lay out a list of what is specifically referred to as 'torture,'" he responds.

Citing "ticking time bomb" scenarios, Romney disagrees with the notion of admitting that a particular practice could violate the Geneva Convention, thereby preventing its utilization by the United States in the event of an urgent need to extract information to, for example, prevent a nuclear attack.

This from the man that wants to double Guantanamo. And, if you look at the video, he is either sitting in Obama's camp, or stole his signs. Yeah, Mitt the Shit is for change.:crazy:

That's how to get people to confess--force them to listen to that asshole for ten minutes!

If we don't admit to it, then it isn't happening
If we don't call it torture, it isn't torture
If we say we aren't using torture, then we aren't using torture

McCain does call water-boarding torture but then he ALWAYS follows up with - and IF we are doing it, then (this should happen)...and that IF says it all about McCain.

:eyes:

any politician

and he certainly isn't the only one that does it either

fer christs sake...

how about we apply this theory to other actions.....

it's not soliciting gay sex in a public bathroom unless you admit it is.

war doesn't kill innocent civilians unless you admit it does.

Strapping enemy combatants to the top of a vehicle and driving really fast until they talk.

Strapping enemy combatants to a chair and make them listen to a Romney stump speech.

We Don't Get To Decide the Definition of TORTURE

For me, the answer would be yes (but only if it was a BIG bomb) and I wouldn't "receive" if the bomb was in a red state.
