Gee RATS flip flopping on an issue? That rarely happens! /sarcasm

[AntiGuv]

Alan Dershowitz is an idiot - always has been; always will be.

[Chieftain]

I am APPALLED, and SHOCKED! To think LIBERALS would actually speak out of both sides of their mouth! SHOCKED!

OK, OK, just don't torture me anymore by making me read the words of these SLIMEBALLS!

[My Favorite Headache]

lol...spin baby..spin

[Justin Vann]

Ah yes, Alan Dershowitz says something, hence all liberals agree with it. That makes perfect sense to me.

By that same logic, do all conservatives believe women shouldn't vote when Ann Coulter says so?

[jocon307]

Good post, and good reporting by Newsmax, I haven't heard anyting from Dershowitz or Alter on the recent story, but it would be interesting to hear if they have anything to say about it.

[Enterprise]

"he argued that the U.S. courts could issue torture warrants in cases where terrorist suspects refused to talk."

"Open the door, this is the police. We have a warrant for your torture."

Of course, once the police actually torture someone, they will be sued for using unreasonable force.

[txradioguy]

I guess when it comes to Arabs, Dershowitz's Jewish heritage comes to the surface. Liberal leanings be damned. Torture the bastards! LOL! He keep sit up and HE will be accused of being a "NeoCon".

[joesnuffy]

Would it even be possible to 'humilitate' the terrorists who slit our stewardess throats and flew fully fueled hi-jacked commercial airliners into the World Trade Center Towers...enough?

Would it have been possible to humiliate the SS guards at Auschwitz...or those who send children to kill pregnant mothers and their children...enough..?

[Destro]

That is why Conservatives should be against torture not making excuses for it.

[txradioguy]

There would never be a way to humiliate them "enough".

IMHO too much would not be enough.

[Enterprise]

LOL! It is astounding that a lawyer can condemn the death penalty and acts of police brutality, but assure us that torture is not prohibited by the Constitution. I will sleep better now.

[txradioguy]

I see no problem with it if it saves our soldiers lives and gives us valuable info that we need.

Remember, these aren't virginal chreubs in Abu Ghraib prison. These are terrorists and scum that would pick up a rifle and shoot us in the back 5 seconds after being released if they could.

[txradioguy]

Maybe by showing he can speak out of both sides of his mouth, Alan is audtioning to be John F'n Kerry's pick for Attorney General.

[Destro]

Information under torture is not reliable. You can get people to turn using non torture techniques. Police depts do it all the time.

[thoughtomator]

Dershowitz is decidedly not of the typical leftist opinion on the WoT, FYI.

[txradioguy]

Iraqi's aren't wired the same way your garden variety thug in America is. The good cop/bad cop kinder/gentler approach may work in the States.

But if you come at an Iraqi or most Arabs in general that way, they take it as a sign of weakness on your part and won't tell you squat.

You HAVE to lay the smackdown on them to get them to talk.

[txradioguy]

I've noticed that and it's about the only redeemable quality I can think of about him.

[Reactionary]

By god, I don't care what they do to them. If making these lunatics talk saves American lives, do what needs to be done.

[Destro]

Oh, I see - you are looking for ways to legally sanction acts of sodomy?
