TORTURE!

The torture question comes up, Obama reiterates that banning torture was the right thing to do.
He says torture is not consistent with American ideals, but dodges the issue as to whether he condones prosecuting the Bush administration or whether the Bush administration sanctioned torture. He may make some news and excite liberal groups by saying that whatever legal rationales were used may have been a mistake.
Compares America to Churchill England in the 1940's detaining German pilots during the blitz, He says banning torture is a decision he's very comfortable with.
Mark Knoller from CBS follows up again, pressing the torture issue and whether Obama would torture if they knew they could get valuable information, he presses hom his previous points and saying that America is a safer place when it doesn't torture, calls torture "shortcuts that undermine who we are." Says there have been no circumstances within the first 100 days that would make him second guess his decisions on torture.
