You’d think Mitt Romney’d learn to choose his campaign team better, after the last time, when his security chief turned out to be impersonating a police officer and threatening reporters…
Romney’s New National Security Adviser Said He’d Torture “In A Heartbeat”By Greg Sargent – October 16, 2007, 1:26PM
Retired General James “Spider” Marks, who has just been named a new national security adviser to Mitt Romney’s campaign, asserted in a 2005 interview that he would readily torture prisoners to save a soldier’s life or stop a terror bomb, saying: “I’d stick a knife in somebody’s thigh in a heartbeat.”
In announcing the appointment of Marks, the Romney campaign put out a press release emphasizing his “more than three decades of experience in the intelligence field.” But according to CNN, Marks also is a teacher of “interrogation.”
How do you teach interrogation in an age of rampant torture? “No, I’ve told you before… stick the needle under the nail at a 20 degree angle, not 45.. dammit, electrodes go on the testicles, not the penis!”
Maybe having serial-killer tendencies is why Mitt picks ’em. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.
