He has the same problem you do. He insists that it is not torture unless the President says it is torture. The President, Vice President, Two former and the present, Attorney Generals have not only excused torture, they have authorized it. This information comes from several sources, including televised statements made by all the above named. It has also been widely reported in the Press and on television. Even his unholiness Rush "OxyContin" Limbaugh has said that torture is used by people acting on behalf of the United States with the authority of the President and Attorney General.quote:Originally posted by skymaster:
Yes you did karl.
When did a Republican insist on the torture of prisoners and define torture for us. When did anybody seek to suspend habeas corpus? Your other questions are so stupid they had to come from the looney left. You go to these web sites and believe all these crazy things.
I guess thats a liberal for you. If its bad news about republicans it must be true.
Everyone complains about "torture" in obtaining information from terrorist. We are not fighting a "tradional" adversary that believes in compassion but rather a demon possessed group that cuts heads off and post on the internet. They deal in terror so should we. Someone has to have gut enough to deal with these people on their own terms. They use our beliefs and passive culture against us. It would make me happy to see the terrorist lowered an inch a minute into a tub of boiling water to get information that would save American lives. I don't think they would have to go beyond the ankles to get the information. I for one am tired of people crying about mistreating these people while we keep loosing our kids in a piece of crap land where we're so hated. I'd be interested in knowing how many are against using the means necessary to obtain information from these people or are we just hearing from all the pacifist.
