60 Minutes

"And if some of that useful information is gleaned by torture, that's OK?" asks Scott Pelley 60 Minutes corespondent.

"It's okay with me, I'm responsible for protecting Americans" said former senior CIA official Michael Scheuer.

If George Bush said that his poll numbers would jump 10 points. As for being angry that terrorists are being snatched and returned to their homeland, that is ridiculous, the left better not try to make that a campaign issue.

If an American criminal is caught in Egypt my guess is he would be extradited to the US for punishment. Logic tells us that if an Egyptian criminal is caught then that person should be brought back to Egypt. The people that the CIA are kidnapping are not human rights activists but terrorists. Torture is a tactic they promote therefore I shall shed no tears for them. If the CIA was taking American citizens to Egypt for torture that would be completely different. If the CIA was not doing this they would not be doing their job.
