This gem appeared in the entertainment (?) section of the LA Daily News. It’s from an interview with Sergeant Major Eric Haney (ret.) from the U.S. Army’s Delta Force.
Q: What do you make of the torture debate? Cheney …
A: (Interrupting) That’s Cheney’s pursuit. The only reason anyone tortures is because they like to do it. It’s about vengeance, it’s about revenge, or it’s about cover-up. You don’t gain intelligence that way. Everyone in the world knows that. It’s worse than small-minded, and look what it does.
In other news, my piece is finished. It is a 10 minute video titled “War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning.” I’m burning it to disc as I type, and I will drop it off with Josh this weekend.
