Torture roundup

I've been asked to compose a post that links to what I've written on this blog about torture.

My first post on this seems to have appeared on April 3, 2003.

Some committed Catholics have, in recent weeks, expressed the opinion that torture is acceptable under certain circumstances....

You see how far we've come.

Fourteen months later, I returned to the topic with a series of posts, beginning with Abortion for social conservatives: "Let's keep torture safe, legal, and rare.", and continuing with

• Only in cases of rape and incest terrorism
• But I know it when I see it
• A programming note
• Today's first torture post
• Today's second torture post
• Entr'acte
• Semi-proportionalist lapsism

Then, in late November 2004, came this series on an article by Linda Chavez:

• A casuistry of torture
• A fair exchange
• Exchange update

In January 2005:

• Torture. Again. Part 1
• Torture. Again. Part 2
• Torture. Again. Part 3
• Applying your method
• Where there's a will, there's an image of God
• So what is coercion of the will, anyway?

In November 2005, I went after Linda Chavez again:If they don't float, they're not witches.

In March 2006, I find Essay or multiple choice.

Which brings us to the latest go-round:

Against rule-based rules
• Torture Debate 6.0: Now With Visual Aids!
• Lines, laws, and morals
• What is torture, anyway?
• What is coercion, anyway?
• Another crack at coercion

So there you have it.

Yuck.
