Tom Bodett on Justifying Torture
Today, on NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, author and radio voice Tom Bodett offered this analogy for the claims being put forth by former Vice President Dick Cheney and others that so called "enhanced interrogation techniques" (a.k.a. torture) produced valuable information in the fight against al-Qaeda:
That's like... you accuse a shoplifter of stealing, [and] he says, "Well, call it what you want; but look at all this great stuff I got."
Listen to it here. The exchange begins at 5:32.
