David Gelernter: When torture is the only option ...

When torture is the only option ... (via Power Line: On the McCain Ademndment):

McCain is a bona fide hero. But there's nothing courageous in standing firm with virtually the whole cultural leadership of this nation and the Western world, under any circumstances. It's too easy. To take a principled stand that you know will make people loathe and vilify you — that's what integrity, leadership and moral courage are all about. This time Cheney is the hero. McCain is taking the easy out.

Scott Johnson at Power Line writes:

I think that Senator McCain's amendment is another example of the kind of moral vanity that brought us his odious campaign finance bill undermining Americans' basic First Amendment freedoms. Subtract from the rights of Americans at home and extend the rights of Americans to foreign terrorists abroad -- it doesn't make much sense to me.

Like I've said in the past, I strongly dislike McCain. I hope to never be put in the position of having to choose between voting for him and, say, Hillary Clinton.
