Daily Show: On “Not Torture”
October 9th, 2007
Must watch. The Daily Show discusses the Torture 2.0 memos.
STEWART: How is fake drowning, sleep deprivation, how isn’t that torture?
OLIVER: That is not torture.
STEWART: Why?
OLIVER: Because we don’t torture.
STEWART: Meaning we don’t do those things?
OLIVER: No, no. Meaning if we do do those things, they must not be torture.
Watchers of the American Psychological Association will certainly appreciate the creative use of words, as the APA celebrates yet another anti-torture resolution that, just accidentally, appears to allow torture.
Watch at Crooks and Liars. [Unfotunately, the Windows Media version didn't work for me but the Quicktime did.]
