Myth Busting 101: "The Consitution is Not a Suicide Pact"

This argument is made by many in support of things like torture – whoops! pardon my faux pas – I meant “enhanced interrogation techniques.”

First of all, to be against torture is not to believe in suicide. I have no such desires to kill myself, nor do I know anyone remotely suicidal.

Nor is being against torture or illegal wiretapping, etc. equivalent to certain death at the hands of terrorist.

So pull another arrow from your quiver, pal, ‘cause that one’s broken.
