Senator Cornyn tried to use the ticking timebomb/torture scenario on Holder |
|
He used the old "we have a terrorist who knows where the bomb is and we have to waterboard him" scenario and asked if Holder would allow him to be waterboarded.
Holder REJECTED his premise. He said there are other tools that can be used. He said it is a false question. He also brought up that torture usually gives false information, that someone will say anything to make pain stop.
Holder would not play his game.

1. Cornyn - quit watching 24. Watch 'Smarter than a 5th grader' instead |

I was so glad that Holder would not even humor him.

He may as well have said "You, sir, are irrelevant to these proceedings."
Damn, how did I miss that exchange?
