The Donald is milking this horror for all it's worth. He's running around to different media outlets and shouting for torture and saying when HE'S President he'll bring back waterboarding and worse. He sounds like a complete moron and it's only intensified when Generals and former covert ops people (and the like) completely disagree with him, ya know, people whose lives have depended on them being wise and careful.
I'm one of those people who think that those being tortured will say anything to get the torture to stop.
I just watched a couple of his interview clips.
Trump said that if Belgian authorities had tortured Abdeslam when they captured him a few days ago, they probably would have gotten useful information to stop today's attacks.
Well, assuming the piece of shit even knew anything about today's attacks, that flies in the face of what expert reports and studies show about torture -- it is not effective in getting useful information out of suspects. Instead, it renders a lot of bogus intel which eats up resources.
Trump also said again that he'd close the borders to Muslims. When asked which ones, he said the ones coming over without papers and such.
Terrorism experts are denouncing Trump's comments. He's wrong about Middle Eastern immigrants getting into the U.S. without documentation and screening -- the process is much tougher and stricter here than Europe because they're showing up in droves on Europe's doorstep.
And, the experts contend that Trump is feeding into what Islamic terrorists sell to recruits and members (that the U.S. hates Muslims and wants to torture and kill them). https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post...posterous/
