Should US Interrogators Imitate Chinese Interrogators?

This news item is made for my blog. Still think the USA should be able to torture whoever it wants? What if you were to find out that the interrogators at Guantanamo Bay are taught to imitate Chinese torture techniques? Specifically, the ones the Chinese government used during the Korean War on American soldiers. Apparently my earlier Manchurian Candidate reference was not in vain.

Yes, there are real bad guys, as many people would rather not believe; and yes, you do what you have to in order to protect people. But we can't institutionalize torture. That's why we're the good guys. That's why we're the civilized ones. And that's why already in 2005 John McCain introduced an amendment to the 2005 military budget bill to ban torture, which passed 91-9.

A choice between keeping alive America's moral mandate versus imitating Chinese torture practices shouldn't be so difficult.
