Re: Mitt Romney--is he sincere on stating his views?
Romney supports torture:
Romney said suspected terrorists need to be kept off American soil and he supported the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" with the approval of the president.
Critics say too many detainees are in Guantanamo without trial and some have called for shutting down the facility, Romney noted. A report conducted last year based on an analysis of defense department data found that 55 percent of Guantanamo detainees were not found to have participated in hostilities against the US and only 8 percent were found to be al Qaeda members.
Romney's solution called for ramping up detention efforts at the military base on Cuba's coast.
"We ought to double Guantanamo," he said.
