17. Agree...and a suggestion for talking to Republicans about this:
Mention two things.

a) Torture doesn't work (does anyone have a link to an article on this? I know it's been shown but don't remember the studies).

b) Torture endangers our own soldiers. When our soldiers are captured by people from a group or country the U.S. has tortured, our soldiers are more likely to receive the same treatment.

Even if someone doesn't think torture is immoral, that person may listen to the above arguments.
