Colbert hosts a debate on torture–with himself

When it comes to debating one of the most contentious issues of the day, Stephen Colbert will take on anyone—including himself.

Colbert engaged in a vigorous debate with himself over the use of “enhanced interrogation” methods.

For the pro-torture Stephen, it boils down to this: “The point is America does not torture. But we had to. And we’ll never do it again—unless it’s to protect America.”

“But the report said it didn’t protect America,” objected other-Stephen.

“Oh I’m not talking about the actual country—I’m talking about the idea of America. The idea of America would never torture,” Stephen #1 clarified.

“And the actual America?”

“Have you read that report?!”
