"Torture Will Test Obama's Idealism"

MSM, narrowing your world. Should be a new slogan.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/4550138/The-use-of-torture-will-test-Barack-Obamas-idealism.html

Premise 1: Obama is an idealist 'good guy'.
Premise 2: Obama is stopping torture.
Premise 3: Torture is effective.
Premise 4: Torture is necessary.
Premise 5: Terrorism is not secret service/government-sponsored.

All of the above is of course false. Obama is no idealist. Torture is continuing, only not at Guantanamo. Torture was abandoned centuries ago because it didn't yield anything worthwhile. Thus, even if there was a real outside terrorist threat torture would not be necessary or useful. Most of the terrorism in the West has been government-sponsored.

But, do you see the false debate this article creates in your mind? Do you even realise it programs you to consider arguments for and against torture, when governments pre-9/11 had abandoned torture because it is useless? (Not just this article or this paper, the entire MSM, especially TV news; but this is a good example of 'psych-warfare'.)

And, since you are thinking about whether torture is right or wrong (lol), you aren't thinking about who benefited from 9/11, or whether empire-building should continue, or whether the criminal central banks should control the issue of money, or whether the banking mafias are setting up a one world police state.

So, is the writer idealistic, or just a globalist new world order shill? Take your pick.
