Robert Creamer: Does Torture Work?: "
Former CIA Director Hayden and Bush's Attorney General Mukasey published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last week that argued, in essence, that using torture works.
The fact that they, and former Vice President Cheney, are still making the argument is more than enough reason why President Obama needed to lay bare the 'torture memos' that provided both the details and justification for the use of torture during the Bush regime.
As a country, we need to emerge from this debate having placed the argument that 'torture works' outside of the boundaries of acceptable political discourse once and for all.
