Against torture
Interesting article about Obama's executive order to put an end to the controversial 'interrigation practices'/torture formerly embraced by the Bush administration, and that both the US Army and the C.I.A now have to follow the Geneva Convention's rules and guidelines.
It is interesting to note that Obama had support for this both in the conservative as well as the liberal flank of the army.
"One of them, retired Major General Paul Eaton, stressed that, as he put it later that day, “torture is the tool of the lazy, the stupid, and the pseudo-tough. It’s also perhaps the greatest recruiting tool that the terrorists have.”"
