Just because you call something an opinion doesn't make it so. If I were to say, "In my opinion, the sky is red" or "in my opinion, onions are made of paper" I'd be wrong. If you had the necessary training and understanding of the history of war or psychology in it's many forms, you'd know that the "opinion of all human history" on torture can be well summarized in a small statement: torture is a tool of conrol through fear, and it has not, will not, nor will it ever produce reliable results. To suggest otherwise is to suggest an untruth; to suggest otherwise is to misrepresent the truth; to suggest otherwise is to lie.
That is not opinion. That is fact.

And when those senators go on record as saying that torture is an effective way to extract information, I will tear their arguments apart as I have done with you. Until that day, you stand in a very small group of individuals who do not have the knowledge to back up what they claim.
