So if torture is just A-OK, how long does it take us to descend down the slippery slope to sawing off heads? If killing people accidentally while torturing them for information or just because is just peachy keen, where to draw the line............decisions, decisions.

Answer: We are the good guys and we better act like it.

I understand what you are saying. What I don't understand is why those who think that is wrong also think we should just turn the whole Middle East into a glass parking lot.

IT seems really contradictory.

They are the bad guys and don't deserve better.

So you prefer killing them with a Hellfire from a drone up their ass than some waterboarding?

I would cut out the heart of KSM and shove it down his throat if it saved your child or any child. Does that answer your question?

One of my best friends would like to comment on this, but he’s not available. He was reduced to a pile of dust by Muslim terrorists on 9/11. They did identify a very small piece of his hip bone, that was delivered to his wife and 3 young children one Saturday morning a few years later. So there is that. I have no sympathy at all for what they do to these savages.

The movie “Unthinkable” explores the limits of torture. Beware it is not for the squemish but it will make you think. I thought it was a good movie up to the last 2 minutes. The ending was really stupid.

I believe that American good outweighs Muslim bad any day of the week. Sort of “the ends justify the means” thing.

Fine. Convene a military tribunal on the spot and if they're found guilty of terrorist acts, hang 'em.
