Controversy over whether terror suspects should be tortured
More people joined the "national conversation" on whether non-cooperative terrorist suspects should be tortured.
Common sense says no, no, a thousand times no -- as policy. Common sense also says that, unofficially of course, if they were to fall down the stairs a few times or walk into a door here or there, no one would really care. I think it was Jonah Goldberg who brought up the subject of "unofficial rules" in NRO about six months ago.
