@AtheistStoned Good point. After all, once torture is standard policy, it gets used more widely, and often on the innocent. -
@Mededitor I don't think you'll find@SamHarrisOrg recommending torture as standard policy, but rather that it should stay illegal. -
@brianpayne177 Yep.@Mededitor is simply strawmanning@SamHarrisOrg 's position, as many do. http://bit.ly/1NPlp63 pic.twitter.com/woEbkpBUhp

@n8r0n74 His section on a moral justification at the end of End of Faith is substantially more detailed. -
@Mededitor No kidding. The punch line is still that he thinks it should be illegal, completely at odds w/ your "standard policy" comment. -
@n8r0n74 Did I say "standard policy"? -
@Mededitor I thought my memory was bad.https://twitter.com/Mededitor/status/618881744264142848 …
