When American lives hang in the balance, it is not enough to tell us we have treated terrorists with sensitivity to our highest ideals. We want to know that those charged with keeping us safe have done everything necessary to carry out their charge. I am heartless enough to say that I am not in any way concerned for the comfort of those who might have information we could employ to protect Americans. And when thousands die and the FBI tells us that they treated those who had that information with the highest Constitutional consideration, I am realistic enough to say they will not be forgiven.

Or ... he may just like people being tortured ...
