The Bible is touted as being the touchstone for morality in our country, it's the reason cited for bashing gay people, it's cited as the basis for all our laws against murder, theft, rape, and the like.  If we are going to discuss the rights and wrongs of torture why wouldn't we look to the Bible?  Nearly 80% of the American people claim to believe that the Bible is the Word of God, but many of them are like Fed Farm and just cherry pick the book for things to justify their hates and fears.  It's too bad really, there are some very good things in the Bible--too bad so few people have the intestinal fortitude to practice those things.
