John Oliver discusses torture

and how it doesn't work. The reason why is obvious: people being toruted will say anything to end the torture no matter if it is true or not. For example, KSM sent the FBI on some wild goose chase over something he made up to try to get the CIA to stop torturing him. Bottom line, there is no rational reason to torture people. If you are in support of torture you are irrational. And/or a sadist. Speaking of that, Last Week Tonight asked presidential hopefuls if they would uphold President Obama’s executive order banning the use of torture (one of the first things he did as President). None of the Republicans answered in the affirmative and all the Democrats did (I could be slightly mistaken but I'm pretty sure that's what it said).
