A tortuous debate

Many say "waterboarding" is torture, including the former CIA agent discussed in this story.
Nor does he like torture. He wishes we wouldn't do it any more.
But he also says the use of waterboarding back in 2002 saved lives, and that it's use was probably necessary at the time.

Whether we should use forms of interrogation such as this, in this day and age, is not the easy question some unthinking moralists make it out to be.
