Richard Land’s thoughts on waterboarding/torture are featured in this Baptist Press story.
Excerpt:
“We hold ourselves to a different standard,” he said. “Each human being is of incalculable value. “There are some things you should never do to another human being,” Land said, “no matter how horrific the things they have done. “If you do so, you demean yourself down to their level,” he said. Civilized countries should err on the side of caution, Land said. “It does cost us something to play by different rules than our enemies, but it would cost us far more if we played by their rules,” he said.
