I disagree.

(a) I disagree as to your first point.
(b) Well, that is the rub, isn't it? Even placing morality aside -- which I don't -- does adherence to the Geneva Conventions, which as ratified treaties are the Supreme law of our land up there next to the Constitution actually harm efficiency of interrogations or put us in any risk?
The Army seems to think not. Many professionals say "No." If y'all could cite one who says yes, I'd be happy to consider what
they have to say. Otherwise, Spanky, I'll have to go all Hank on you.
