In today's "Best of the Web Today" at the Wall Street Journal's Web site reports that my least favorite attorney, Alan Dershowitz, has come out for allowing the torture of terror suspects. In an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle, Dershowitz proposes:

The suspect would be given immunity from prosecution based on information elicited by the torture. The warrant would limit the torture to nonlethal means, such as sterile needles, being inserted beneath the nails to cause excruciating pain without endangering life.

I'm not sure where I come down on the subject of torture, but I'm inclined to be against it, for the simple reason that Dershowitz is for it.

Oh, the Wall Street Journal item on this is headlined: "If only we had ways of making him not talk."

Classic.
