Torture works

Because the Nazis did it and it worked so we can use it! This jaw-dropping statement was made by Alan Dershowitz.

In the midst of defending once again the single worst argument in the pro-torture arsenal, Alan Dershowitz has finally been reduced to a sad parody of himself by claiming that torture -- if good enough for the Nazis -- is good enough for us.

There are some who claim that torture is a nonissue because it never works--it only produces false information. This is simply not true, as evidenced by the many decent members of the French Resistance who, under Nazi torture, disclosed the locations of their closest friends and relatives.
The obvious conclusion is left unsaid....That the Nazis were the BAD GUYS, they efficiently tortured and killed millions of people and still lost a world war, and a few of them were charged with war crimes and HUNG.

Hmm...

Maybe just asking for impeachment isn't enough....
