re: #245 Islamo-Masonic Conspirator

KT’s rhetoric is worse. Dawkins states quite explicitly that his gradation of “badness” and “worseness” doesn’t imply acceptance of either. KT seems to derive his acceptance of torture from it being relatively better than death.

He sees torture as a moral imperative

Here comes the moral conundrum: Let’s suppose maybe one or two of those plots were foiled. How many lives saved would it take to make it worth waterboarding him? 50? 100? 1,000? 100,000? Let’s admit it, at some point there’s a moral obligation to do it.

But to buy that, you have to believe that torture actually works.
