Republican presidential candidate John McCain said President Bush should veto a measure that would bar the CIA from using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods on terror suspects.
McCain is well known for his opposition to waterboarding, but he doesn't want the CIA being bound by using only the 19 interrogation techniques listed in the Army field manual
I am glad to see this. I feel the CIA should have broad discretion when it comes to questioning terror suspects.
Personally, I could not care less about the rights of someone who is planning to terrorize the United States. The CIA should have the power to do whatever needs to be done to extract information to save American lives.

Reminds of an old movie, Dragnet with Dan Akroyd. He's questioning a guy and he's getting nowhere. He tells his partner to leave and then confronts the suspect telling him his method involves "me, your balls and this drawer." You then hear the drawer slam and the guy scream. There were a few times I would have liked to do that.
Law and Order Teacher: The military should be able to do whatever is necessary to extract information. In addition, teachers should be able to do whatever is necessary to maintain class control and the learning environment.
