Torture

I'm in favor of torture, in the same way that I'm in favor of blowing things up. What I mean is that I get a nice warm happy feeling inside whenever I hear about things exploding, or people being tortured. I mean, as long as it isn't anyone I know and like.

I usually call this 'having an evil conscience'.

I'm not enough of a bastard to want people (even foreign people) blown up or tortured for my amusement, though... but it's why I originally supported the war in Iraq, which otherwise seemed morally neutral.

I'd be leery about putting myself in a position to decide who lives and who dies.
