MyFox St. Louis | Protest Planned Over Alberto Gonzales Visit

Notice this quote (my emphasis added):

Quote:

Former U.S. Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, speaks at Washington University Tuesday night. But many plan to protest the visit they say due to Gonzales’ role advising the President on the use of interrogation techniques some say were torture

SOME say were torture? Um...it IS torture. Most rational people will say things like waterboarding and freezing and cigarette burns are most DEFINITELY torture.

I attended the protest and the speech, so I could hear Gonzales' point of view, and Gonzales's whole side of the story was the Republican mantra of Blame Somebody Else. -CSM

Those wacky Dems, always hatin' on our torture techniques. I already told you all, it's not a torture system. It's a reward system. Terrorists don't tell me what I want to hear, and I reward them with pain and suffering.

If that were any other source, I don't know that I'd even suspect that wording to have been rooted in any sort of bias. It's just a sort of journalistic neutrality where they want to keep their opinion of whether it's torture or not out of the article.

This, on the other hand...

It's not an opinion. Look up the definition of "torture".

This is exactly why I get all of my news from message boards and comedians.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I tried to leave room in my mind for someone to be able to make the case that whether or not it's torture could be arguable, but thinking better on it, no, no one can.

I like that you've looked at it with an open mind, though. More people should find humility enough to admit theirs isn't necessarily the only opinion. Good man.
