No-brainer

Un tal Scott Hennen le hizo un reportaje radial al vicepresidente de los EE.UU. Dick Cheney.

Y le pregunta:

"Would you agree a dunk in water is a no-brainer if it can save lives?"

A lo que Cheney responde:

"It's a no-brainer for me, but for a while there, I was criticized as being the Vice President "for torture." We don't torture. That's not what we're involved in. We live up to our obligations in international treaties that we're party to and so forth. But the fact is, you can have a fairly robust interrogation program without torture, and we need to be able to do that."

Relean la primera oración: ""It's a no-brainer for me"... es decir que, para Cheney, torturar a alguien ahogándolo en el agua "no hay ni que pensarlo", "es una obviedad", si puede salvar vidas.

Lo del título.
