Question: Does torture work?
By Peter Skurkiss

The nomination process for Gina Haspel for Director of the CIA has brought the matter of torture front and center again. In being questioned by senators, Ms. Haspel said that under her watch, the CIA would forgo advanced interrogation techniques (torture) like waterboarding to obtain intelligence information. She also regurgitated today's politically correct mantra that “torture doesn't work.”

There may be reasons for the CIA to renounce torture. For one, a legitimate case can be made that torture demeans and degrades America's moral standing in the world. But to say that torture doesn't work?

Torture does seem to work.

Take the case of the Trump election.

Losing was torture. Hell Honey Bunny is still singing.

Water boarding is not torture. No permanent damage. Just scares people.

If lives can be saved by scaring our enemies, I am all in for it.

And to hell, with the weak people that cannot or will not understand that.
