Torture advocate o’ the week
by digby
I just watched Bill Maher from last night. He had a guest on by the name of Carrie Sheffield a right wing writer and political analyst. She is a very lovely looking young lady. But she thinks torture may be called for and believes that “terrorists” don’t deserve the same rights as other people, so we need to keep the prisoners in Guantanamo locked up forever, which isn’t so lovely. When Alex Wagner tried to explain that some of the prisoners in Guantanamo weren’t terrorists, she was unmoved. Just FYI, Carrie Sheffield is a very observant Mormon. I don’t know where torture is sanctioned in the Bible, but I’ll be sure to look it up.
