Torture gives you reliable and unreliable information. That's the reason why most people in the world don't do it. So this idea that you have to torture people in order to protect national security is a false argument, and I reject it.

More quotes by John McCain
Democrats proposing failure in Iraq by withdrawing.
John McCain
War is awful. Nothing, not the valor with which it is fought nor the nobility of the cause it serves, can glorify war. War is wretched beyond description and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality. Whatever is won in war, it is loss the veteran remembers.
John McCain
(Obama) really has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue of Iraq and he has wanted to surrender for a long time.
John McCain
What is good for my country is good for my party, Should my party abandon this principle, the American people will abandon us.
John McCain
I appreciate our government's determination to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the Bytyqi brothers, which Serbia's Interior Minister has rightly called 'an exceptionally serious crime,' and hope the Serbian government's pledge of full cooperation... is matched by a final accounting of their murder.
John McCain
I will not leave the Republican Party, ... The Republican Party is my home.
John McCain
I am proud to be a conservative ... but I am also proud throughout my life to have attracted the support and the love and affection of people from all over America and all parts of it.
John McCain
[Vladimir] Putin supporting Bashar al-Assad, helping with the Syrian refugee crisis and, I think for any republican, he [Donald Trump] has got to stop saying this, because I was with him. I was with him and he said that, it was like, I'm out. I'm out. It's too crazy.
John McCain
Events are moving fast in my campaign, and yes, it's true that this morning I've dismissed my entire team of senior advisers. All of their positions will now be held by a man named 'Joe the Plumber.'
John McCain
I 'Don't See How It Matters' That I Don't Know The Price Of Gas.
John McCain
I observed a thousand acts of courage, compassion and love [as a POW] and I will always treasure that memory above all others.
John McCain
I think where [Donald Trump] loses most hawkish republicans is when he talking about how much he likes [Vladimir] Putin. That should make any person who believe in the American exceptionalism, incredibly uncomfortable.
John McCain
Thank God for our form of government. The media won't let there be any cover-up.
John McCain
We got results that would not have been possible without a negotiating partner like Joe Biden.
John McCain
But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations.
John McCain
There's a certain romanticism associated with exploration of space, which is one of the major factors why we'll continue.
John McCain
We know for a fact the Russians tried to change the outcome of our election, attacking the very fundamental of democracy. We know they did that. We need to know how, we need to know why, and most of all we need to know what to do to prevent this kind of activity, which they continue to carry on in free nations around the world.
John McCain
We should be able to deliver bottled hot water to dehydrated babies.
John McCain
A man I admire and respect - Congressman John Lewis, an American hero, made allegations that Sarah Palin and I were somehow associated with the worst chapter in American history, segregation, deaths of children in church bombings, George Wallace. That, to me, was so hurtful.
John McCain
They're all tied together: taxes, Medicare, Social Security, and the debt. We've got to have a setting of priorities, and looking at it - at each of them as disconnected, I think, doesn't properly address these major challenges.
