U.S. Supreme Court Justice Scalia Comes Out in Favor of Torture

Posted by stoptorture on February 12th, 2008

Justice Antonin Scalia gave a radio interview in Britain in which he suggested that “smacking someone in the face” should be legally justified in certain cases. Justice Scalia posed a hypothetical in which he claimed not allowing “so-called torture” would be “absurd.”

See the BBC report on the interview here. Check out a trascript on IntLawGrrls here. The full audio is available here.

    AARP is a big hawker for health coverage, and they get paid to promote policies, but they do not offer any policies themselves. So you want to evaluate the policies they promote the same as any other policy. With skepticism, and according to your needs.
