"But Romney reveals in this clip that he does not believe the president
is bound by the law in this question. He says that he will not provide
a definition of "what is torture and what is not torture," because a
president should be able to keep terror supects guessing. So he
supports "enhanced interrogation techniques" and not torture, but
refuses to say what the difference is. And he says the president gets
to pick. And U.S. citizens are subject to this regime. The logic of
Romney's position, then, is that the president can designate any human
being or citizen an "enemy combatant," detain them indefinitely without
charges or recourse to the courts, and torture them using any method he
wishes as long as he says it's not torture and he is under no
obligation to explain what torture is. This is tyranny. Period."
