Aaron Schock: Pro-Torture

18 December 2009

"I don't believe that we should limit waterboarding - or, quite frankly, any other alternative torture technique - if it means saving Americans' lives." My emphasis. [the exchange starts at 2:15 into the clip, and the actual quote happens at 2:41]

He may be a pretty face and a rising star in the GOP -- but Representative Aaron Schock (R-Il) just lost any respect that I had for him (which wasn't much because I knew so little about him).

My guess is that after this interview aired, Schock likely received several calls from from the top-brass in the GOP. He botched that 'enhanced interrogation technique' talking point numerous times.

This space is designed for thoughtful commentary on politics and media (and whatever else comes to mind). The Pajama Pundit welcomes people from all political stripes to voice opinions freely and without fear of mean-spirited attacks. He does however expect intelligent discussion -- and some understanding of proper grammar usage.

Please refrain from personal attacks on authors or other users. Back up your argument with documentation (links to elsewhere on the web). This is a big sandbox -- so please play nicely with one another.

NOTE: For all of the HTML nerds out there (like me), [a] (hyperlink), [strong] (bold) and [em] (italic) tags work. There are probably others as well...
