I didn't see that, but whoever said it is an idiot and is advocating war crimes.

I believe in freedom of speech, but there are legitimate limits to it. I think that at the point where people publicly advocate war crimes, responsible news media should not allow that on their news broadcasts. The fact that that occurs is an indication of how far our corporate news media has descended into irresponsibility.

Furthermore, our use of torture does not save American lives, to the contrary, it arouses intense anti-American hatred, increases the likelihood that our own soldiers will be tortured when caught, and contributes to the recruiting of anti-American terrorists.
