"Torture is okay!" Says Dershowitz.
I thought about adding an "idiocy" category for this one. I missed this when it went by last month. It seems that the Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz thinks that torture is just fine, under the right conditions:
CNN.com - Dershowitz: Torture could be justified - Mar. 3, 2003
Funny, only the entire fucking world disagrees with this assessment! This is another case of using the ends to justify the means, when in fact using the wrong means can make an end unjustifiable. Like "liberating" Iraq by unilaterally invading, for example.
