Sometimes called moral relativism, the moral squint is our ability to look upon a wrong and imagine (or pretend) that we see right. For example, torture is wrong - we all agree. We're the good guys, after all, and good guys don't do that. Torture is what the bad guys do. And yet... in the name of anti-terrorism, we routinely torture people who have not been accused, much less convicted of any crime. Such people are innocent by definition, under American law. To argue that using "enhanced interrogative techniques" on them is not actually torture, or maybe it is but it is justified because it might save American lives, requires a moral squint, if not total blindness.
