David Corn on Condi failing to Wow the EU folk: "As long as the media continues to reveal the tawdry--if not illegal--practices being sanctioned by the Bush administration and as long as the administration refuses to hold people accountable for the abuses and mistakes that do occur, Rice's we-do-not-torture statements will have no meaning."

I'm against torture. But in favor of legal, firm interrogation.

Corn fails, as usual, to note the two system errors: too much interrogation, especially of innocents (false positives) -- against too little info gathering, meaning more American soldiers die.

In his Unreal Perfection fantasy, a CIA with kid-gloves will get just as much life-saving info as tough guys. Baloney.

Complaining about torture means wanting more soldiers to be killed.
