Two Torture Supporters, One Stone

A.L. takes aim at Rove and Andy McCarthy:

...let's review the basic GOP position. Torture (sorry "enhanced interrogation") is good and saves lives. It does not incite or radicalize the Muslim world or help al Qaeda recruit. Releasing pictures of it, however, does do all of these things. Also, if we stop torturing people, this leads to a al Qaeda recruiting bonanza.

To say that none of this makes any sense is an extreme understatement.
