Why McCain Doesn't Understand Torture - Because he was Tortured.

On The O'Reilly Factor, former NY Senator Al D'Amato (R) argued that Senator John McCain's insistence that the United States observe the prohibitions against torture in the Geneva Convention results from the fact that McCain was “so traumatized by the events that took place” during his captivity in the Vietnam War (including being tortured), and that McCain "doesn’t even really want to [be] or is in a position to consider the impact of what his restrictions would do.

"To top it off, D'Amato states that observing prohibitions against torture is "not going to make us look any morally better."

Has this country lost its mind?(For the video, see here).
