He was the most vocal supporter of the state engaging in torture. Firstly it's an evil thing to do. But even if you don't care about that, as an American the 8th amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, this is why they had to do it outside US soil. And if you don't love America or the rule of law either, then you should know that the experts agree it doesn't fucking help. Torture doesn't get you good information, it can be used as a population control technique, but it's a risky one that can really backfire, ask Ghaddafi.
