O'BRIEN - TORTURE OKAY IF CALLED "ROUGH METHOD"

I didn’t really know until today that the Pee Dee endorsed torture.

 

Then today I read PD Deputy Editorial Page Editor Kevin O’Brien, the paper’s right wing bomb thrower.

 

“Water flowed,” he said, “up some deserving noses.”

 

How cavalier.

 

“Yes, our guys did this. They did it to our enemies. They did it to protect us. And they did it knowing full well that when word of their rough methods got out, they would be demonized.”

 

“Rough methods,” huh? Afraid to call it what it is, Kevin?

 

Be a plain spoken right-winger. Be honest at least. Call it "torture" but to “enemies,” so it’s alright.

 

Why the Pee Dee has such a rabid right-winger tossing us right-wing propaganda I don’t know because this is not exactly even Southern Ohio, never mind the Deep South where this stuff sells well these days.
