I don't buy that.... but it makes for a feel good soundbite.
Name one American soldier that has been captured and returned Alive. Point being, American Soldiers will get beaten, tortured and killed regardless of how ill, or well, detainees in American custody are treated.
----------------------------------------
Torture is horrendous but the idea that either McCain or Obama can prevent torture from EVER happening under their watch is absurd... They may as well be saying that during their administration, there will be no domestic crime of any kind either.
McCain pointing out interrogators is silly.... Interrogators have been guilty of only a few cases of torture while the overwhelming majority of torture took place at the hands of our Soldiers, who were supposed to be "Guarding" detainees.
Additionally... We don't need to torture people for info, we can just send them to one of our allies, like Saudi Arabia, and let some other country torture them... Or turn a blind eye while a soldier from another country tortures someone right there in the field.
