Yesterday's Hardball showed an odd Chris Matthews performance -- it was about torture, and Matthews came across as lovin' it. The whole interview gave me a creepy-crawly sensation while he was talking about all these delicious torture techniques. And I wondered how many other people felt the same way.

Matthews was interviewing an FBI interrogator named Joe Navarro, who has just published a text on interview techniques -- something needed, I think, considering how poorly trained the CIA and military interrogators apparently arethese days.
While Navarro kept trying to deal with the issue seriously, Matthews kept chattering about exciting techniques, and Famous Torturers I Have Known and Loved. Here are some of the things said during the interview:
