Interesting that the prevailing opinion on here is that Romney came off looking bad against McCain in that exchange. I disagree. I think McCain came off exploitative (the Powerline guys used the word "demagogic") of the question.

McCain on torture is starting to become a little like Rudy on 9/11. Smacks of opportunism. I understand the man suffered and I respect his view, but he isn't the only one permitted to lodge an opinion on this topic. In fact, one could argue that his experience taints his ability to make an objective decision.
