Frist not concerned about torture

He's making this way too easy for us; from CNN:

Frist told reporters Thursday that while he believed illegal activity should not take place at detention centers, he believes the leak itself poses a greater threat to national security and is "not concerned about what goes on" behind the prison walls.

"My concern is with leaks of information that jeopardize your safety and security -- period," Frist said. "That is a legitimate concern."

..."I am not concerned about what goes on [in the prisons] and I'm not going to comment about the nature of that," Frist replied.

Seriously, not concerned? Dude, it's your job to be concerned if someone is doing something illegal in the name of the United States.

Senate Oath ("I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States") plus Eighth Amendment ("nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted") equals Frist has a duty to be concerned about torture.
