Stick around another year or so, and you will stop trying to make such subtle points to Club.
But seriously -- I do think the statement was a bit overblown, and the predictable result is that those who are unwilling to advocate torture openly get to ignore the substance of the speech and instead fulminate that "America's soldiers are owed an apology -- they aren't Nazis!". Check on the WSJ for that approach.
