I've lost a few friends on my social networks thanks to this post.
I'm sorry not sorry. I just don't know how this is even debatable.
People who condemn this stuff must be confused because it seems like they think the intelligence community is engaging in these measures against terrorists for the fun of it...They're not!
The "torture" isn't taking place in a vacuum. I would LOVE for one of these self-styled liberal "doves," just one, to tell me that if they would hold their head high after a terror attack that killed thousands or more because its prevention failed due to a refusal to extract information using methods such as waterboarding.
And they also need to knock it off with the false equivalence. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the innocents whose heads terrorists will saw off (among other things) and broadcast on the internet would probably choose waterboarding for themselves if they were afforded the luxury of being given a choice between the two.
So these barbarian psychopaths are getting off MUCH easier than their victims. So knock it off with the morally-confused outrage.
If the Paki government had a suspect in custody with guilty knowledge, would it have been ok to torture the suspect to prevent the murder of 148 innocent students and teachers?
Them wuz no friends....maybe if we baptized more of them, a few would have seen the light and asked to be Baptized....
