My take on the torture thing and even drones is: If we're going to get into assassination and torture, the second question is the morality, but the first is the effectiveness of it.

I don't trust American intelligence. You look at the torture report from the Senate: People inside the CIA are saying that it doesn't work, and we're getting the information not from torture, but simply from questioning people.

The CIA is an incompetent bureaucracy, generally.

Bethlehem was God with us, Calvary was God for us, and Pentecost is God in us.

There is a tendency in any conflict, especially in a democracy, to fight the enemy you can, not the enemy you should.

I truly believe that if torture had worked and there was a case to be made for it, we would see that on the front pages of the American press.
