We signed an international agreement banning torture. This will come back to bite the GOP in its collective ass.

I doubt any of them will have to answer any questions about torture and they certainly will NEVER admit what they call "enhanced interrogation" could EVER be called torture.

(36,926 posts)9. Yes, I think they will be asked that by the MSM.
And if it doesn't happen in the GOP primaries, our nominee will definitely make a point of bringing it up.
