"Panic sells gas masks, gentlemen." -- Detective John Munch, "Law & Order: SVU"
The theory that fear of terrorism justifies just about anything also applies to comments made by Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia on the subject of torture. Judge Scalia's argument that Constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment don't apply to interrogation seems to hold water. But if we're arguing this point on Constitutional grounds, haven't we completely missed the point?
You know, the point about torture being ineffective and... oh, I don't know... WRONG?
