"The buck would stop" with the US President who would sign off on a specific cohersive measure.<BR/><BR/>I trust that you realize just how politicized the term "torture" is. Until the term becomes less subjective and is defined in clear terms, I believe it's disengenuous of some to use the term as a "battering ram" against doing anything to obtain intell that involves cohersive measures.<BR/><BR/>Or what? :-)KGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743739958015568193noreply@blogger.com
