Torture debate between POW McCain and Chickenhawk Ghouliani gets personal. |
On Friday, McCain, a former POW, criticized pro-torture opponents who
“chose to do other things when this nation was fighting its wars.”
Giuliani, who never served in the military, said McCain “has never run
a city, never run a state, never run a government. He has never been
responsible as a mayor for the safety and security of millions of
people, and he has never run a law enforcement agency, which I have
done.”

Torture debate between McCain, Giuliani, gets personal
By Sasha Issenberg
MASON CITY, Iowa –
The Republican debate over torture has become a debate over resumes,
as John McCain warns from personal experience about the dangers of
harsh questioning and Rudy Giuliani takes credit for his skill with it
as a prosecutor.
“When someone says waterboarding is similar to harsh interrogation
techniques used against the mafia in New York City, they do not have
enough experience to lead our military,” McCain said Sunday night at a
town-hall meeting here.
McCain, a leading critic of attorney-general nominee Michael B.
Mukasey’s refusal to define waterboarding as illegal, was responding
to comments made Friday by Giuliani in which the former U.S. attorney
– in broad, unspecific terms – appeared to defend the practice.

AMEN.
Never mistake the resume for the experience, nor the invective for the
facts.
