Vampire Kristol: ‘I’m Ambivalent’ On Torture,’ But I Support Bush’s Use Of It.


Thinkprogress:
On the Daily Show last night, host Jon Stewart asked Weekly Standard editor and New York Times columnist Bill Kristol if he is “a torture guy.” “Waterboard or no waterboard,” probed Stewart.
I’m ambivalent on torture,” replied Kristol. “I’m a bit of a squish on torture.” After saying he “respects” Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) position that torture is “unwise and unnecessary and wrong for the U.S. to do,” Kristol made the case for allowing the United States to torture through waterboarding:
On the other hand, it does seem that the three people who seem to have been waterboarded, gave up, perhaps, very important information that may have prevented further attacks. So I think it would be a tough call.

The Vampire is a girly man and would pee in his pants if they showed him the torture room. Just like the other GOP Girly Law Makers it's better they stay in the closet. Don't ask don't tell policy wouldn't work with Vampire he's to obvious.
