Once again JD. What torture?

Saddam was a tyrant and responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. I am not at all saying that the CIA's actions are equivalent. But my point is, where do you draw the line?
Torture is considered a crime against humanity. But torture is okay as long as you only torture a few people at a time, or they're suspected of having information?
Quote:
It's simply wrong to suggest that Abu Zubaida wasn't intimately involved with al-Qaeda," said a U.S. counterterrorism official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because much about Abu Zubaida remains classified. "He was one of the terrorist organization's key facilitators, offered new insights into how the organization operated, provided critical information on senior al-Qaeda figures . . . and identified hundreds of al-Qaeda members. How anyone can minimize that information -- some of the best we had at the time on al-Qaeda -- is beyond me."
From JD's article.......

That quote is conveniently out of context, nice try at selectively quoting the article. Anyone who actual reads the article will be able to figure that out.
