Rick Santorum explaining how torture works to John McCain:
“Everything I’ve read shows that we would not have gotten this information as to who this man was if it had not been gotten information from people who were subject to enhanced interrogation. And so this idea that we didn’t ask that question while Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was being waterboarded, he doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works. I mean, you break somebody, and after they’re broken, they become cooperative. And that’s when we got this information. And one thing led to another, and led to another, and that’s how we ended up with bin Laden.”

If this is a quote by Rick Santorum, then he's an idiot. He doesn't have a clue as to how torture works. You'd think that John McCain, a man who was tortured, wouldn't be receiving a lecture from anyone like Santorum on this. Torture makes someone say whatever he thinks his torturers want to hear, not necessarily the truth. Any expert on torture will tell you that.
