First Things Thinks Torture is no Big Deal

First Things Thinks Torture is no Big Deal October 13, 2009

From “the Anchoress“, who I believe pretends to be a Catholic blogger:

“All indications are that the torture was very limited in scope and that -whether we are comfortable with it or not- information gleaned through waterboarding saved lives.”

Who cares about doing something intrinsically evil if it is not that evil, and if good might come of it? Consequentialism overcomes First Things. Surprised?
