Military Analyst Says Torture Worked on John McCain: ‘They Call Him Songbird John’

‘The fact is those methods can work, and they are effective, as former Vice President Cheney said’

EXCERPT:

PAYNE: "Real quick, though, Senator John McCain said he is not going to endorse Haspel also in part because she believes in torture, that she thinks that works, even though she laid out three instances where it did work to the benefit of not just Americans, but all human beings. Should they be evaluating this nominee on her feelings or based strictly on the facts and her commitment not to use it anymore because it’s no longer legal for us?"
McINERNEY: "She can’t use it anymore because we have determined in Congress that it’s not legal. The fact is, John McCain, it worked on John. That’s why they call him Songbird John. The fact is, those methods can work and they are effective, as former Vice President Cheney said. And if we have to use them to save a million American lives, we will do whatever we have to."
