I didnt' watch the second Republican Presidential Debate, I didn't even know about it. Andrew Sullivan did. Some big points:
Romney thinks "We Ought to Double Guantanamo". As Sullivan says: "Romney would double the size and scope of Gitmo, to ensure that none of the detainees have lawyers, regardless of their innocence or guilt. That is in itself a disqualification for the presidency of the United States. A man who has open contempt for the most basic rules of Western justice has no business being president."
When asked about waterboarding, Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) both supported "every method they could think of". Tancredo said "I’m looking for Jack Bauer”. If he can settle the whole issue in 24 hours, ok I'm for him. Otherwise, I think he should listen to the generals when they say 24 is fiction and damaging. The source link for this is broken, but Sullivan also says "Rudy's For Waterboarding".
And while McCain is campaigning on Iraq, he's missed the last four votes on it in the Senate.
