Trump urges waterboarding after Brussels attacks

[...]

Trump's top Republican rival, US Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, renewed his call for an immediate halt to Obama's plan to admit thousands
of Syrian refugees to the United States and suggested heightened police scrutiny of neighbourhoods with large Muslim populations.

"We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighbourhoods before they become radicalised," he said in a statement.

Republican rival John Kasich, the governor of Ohio, struck a more diplomatic tone...

Kudos to Kasich for at least not going rabid as the other two.

An Excellent Reason Not to Torture Prisoners
...Later, Mr. Zubaydah was turned over to the C.I.A. and to a secret prison in Thailand, where he was water-boarded at least 83 times in one month. In the early 2000s, such treatment was routine:
The Bush administration reasoned that, after 9/11, anyone who objected to torture was hopelessly naïve. Anything short of torture, they seemed to think, meant coddling terrorists.

But Mr. Zubaydah’s interrogators told the Times [ http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/z/abu_zubaydah/index.html ]
that, after being water-boarded, he revealed nothing more of value. The C.I.A. succeeded only in tainting the evidence against him.
