"[E]verything I’ve read shows that we would not have gotten this information as to who this man was if it had not been gotten information from people who were subject to enhanced interrogation. And so this idea that we didn’t ask that question while Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was being waterboarded, [John McCain] doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works. I mean, you break somebody, and after they’re broken, they become cooperative," – Rick Santorum, on Hugh Hewitt's radio show.
Santorum's reading is, it appears, limited. And his logic faulty. If KSM became cooperative after being tortured, why did he subsequently lie, according to the very torture defenders who claim vindiction?
