Specious Reasoning Award

via New Atlanticist:
"People assume we should be offended that somebody in the military thinks our song is annoying enough that played over and over it can psychologically break someone down. I take it as an honor to think that perhaps our song could be used to quell another 9/11 attack or something like that." - Bassist Steve Benton of Drowning Pool, whose 2001 hit "Bodies" is a particular favorite of interrogators.
So torturing random Iraqis, who had nothing to do with 9/11, instead of the Saudi students and the real people behind 9/11, with your horrible music, is a way to stop further attacks?

Specious, sophistic reasoning at its best.
