Since I don't think the Democrats are doing enough on torture, out of fear of being painted as weak on terrorists, I'm not seeing the grandstanding here. The basic problem is not that Democrats don't think torture is wrong but are pretending that it is for political gain. It's that they think torture is wrong but are not doing enough to stop it for fear of political losses.
