The Republican debate in Columbia, South Carolina on May 15 broached the issue of 'enhanced interrogation techniques' and torture, and whether or not the use of either is legitimate. &nbsp;Ron Paul and John McCain were the only two in the whole field who called 'enhanced interrogation techniques' a euphemism for torture, and they were the only two who expressly rejected the use of these techniques. Ron Paul at one point accused Brit Hume, a Fox News moderator, as well as the other candidates, of engaging in 'newspeak.' &nbsp; This was a big highlight for me, even though I have, for years, resisted the urge to simply compare Fox News or the Bush administration to the societies described by George Orwell in his novels. I always rejected it as overly simplistic, or as breathless left-wing hysteria on par with 'OMG BUSHITLER' and the like. I must admit however that the exchange was getting pretty surreal until Ron Paul pointed it out. But that was hardly the strangest thing that happened. That would be the exchange between Paul and Giuliani, facilitated by moderator and all-around Fox News hack Wendell Goler. Paul comported himself well in spite of the openly hostile treatment by Fox News and some of his opponents, notching 2nd place in the Fox News text message poll. This is notable because Paul's positions on almost every issue stand in stark contrast to those of his opponents. Links, transcript, and some thoughts below the fold, with a poll.
