Rudy Guiliani is going to run on the promise to torture people, while insisting that his opponent will not torture people. Here’s an example:
“I think putting people under some degree of pressure is done all the time…I did it to get information from the Mafia.”
Unfortunately, the Mafia never told him, while they were being tortured, that his police chief Bernie Kerik was doing business with them.
Guiliani, who gained his reputation by prosecuting mobsters, wound up hiring one to run the NYPD. And then he recommended him to the president who nominated Kerik to be the Secretary of Homeland Security.
So much for torture.
