Bill O'Reilly really screws up, calls torture "Morally correct."

The ends always justify the means, right Bill?

Bill O'Reilly: Torture Is 'Morally Correct'

If you thought you heard it all from Bill O'Reilly, think again. Tonight he said that torture was a "morally acceptable" thing to do.

But the most ridiculous opinion came from Bill O'Reilly, who gave the Pope's blessing on torture when he called it "morally acceptable" to do so.

O'Reilly: On a personal note, I know scores of Americans who lost loved ones on 9/11. I've watched their children grow up without mothers and fathers. If I were president, I would authorized waterboarding and other severe interrogation methods of high ranking captured terrorists.

It is morally correct to protect innocent lives from barbarians.

We are a nation of laws, but we are in a brutal ongoing war. Americans need to be protected.

There you have it. His own words: Laws and the US constitution become optional when they become inconvenient.

If O'Reilly REALLY were POTUS, what would he do with that attitude?
