Questioner Makes Candidates Address Torture in CNN/YouTube Debate

In tonight’s CNN/YouTube debate, a questioner from Seattle made the Republican candidates address torture when he asked this question:

 

Andrew Jones: Hello, gentlemen. I’m Andrew, and I’m a college student from Seattle, Washington. Recently, Senator McCain has come out strongly against using waterboarding as an instrument of interrogation. My question for the rest of you is, considering that Mr. McCain is the only one with any firsthand knowledge on the subject, how can those of you sharing the stage with him disagree with his position?

 

The debate transcript is here. Watch the question here:
