The Use of Torture

I looked around and I said, we are torturing people. We use torture. I think that is wrong. I am personally opposed to torture. What we are using it. So, I said if we are going to use it, we need jurisprudence of torture. Oh my God, a jurisprudence of torture. How can you say that, you are a monster.

Now, I am trying to stop torture and the way to stop torture is the “cabinet” to say alright if you think you have to use moderate forms of physical pressure and the extraordinary case of a ticking bomb terrorist who knows where a nuclear bomb is in the city of New York, all right, create an exception for that, but cabinet-limited indicate, and people say “No, no. We don’t want that. We’d rather have the president or the vice president or some people on the ground, do it on their own. Just don’t ask, don’t tell—a wink and a nod.

That is not my way. My way is always to have the rule of law govern everything that we do.
