Rick Santorum the idiot

Rick Santorum, who never served in the security forces in any capacity thinks he knows more about interrogation methods than John McCain who was tortured as a prisoner of war. I hope Santorum does enter the presidential race, so Sarah Pali won't have the monopoly of being the idiot of the campaign.

Earlier this week, Santorum said McCain “doesn't understand how enhanced interrogation works.” He was asserting that the harsh interrogation of some Al Qaeda captives held by the US military and the CIA – including the drowning technique known as “waterboarding” – led to the discovery of Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts.In a Washington Post op-ed column, McCain had pointed out that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
– waterboarded 183 times – in fact “produced false and misleading
information” about the identity of the courier who proved to be the key
link to bin Laden.“According to the staff of the Senate
intelligence committee, the best intelligence gained from a CIA detainee
… was obtained through standard, noncoercive means,” McCain wrote,
echoing what CIA director Leon Panetta has asserted as well.“I
know from personal experience that the abuse of prisoners sometimes
produces good intelligence but often produces bad intelligence because
under torture a person will say anything he thinks his captors want to
hear – true or false – if he believes it will relieve his suffering,”
McCain wrote.The implication that Santorum – who has no direct
experience in anything related to combat or captivity – could suggest
that he knows more than McCain about the utility of torture brought
swift and harsh criticism.

Other than Mitt Romney everybody else in the race is an idiot. There is plenty of entertainment in the store.

I hope Tim Pawlenty enters the race. He doesn't seem too bad.

It could be someone most unexpected like Bill Clinton in his time.

Yes, most likely they will vote for any non-idiot candidate I guess.

Read this somewhere yesterday - 'Bachmann is for people who think Palin is too intellectual'. I hope Palin runs. Otherwise, it's going to be a really boring election cycle.
