People to McCain - "We expect our country to do whatever is necessary to prevail. Whatever is necessary."

[Dog]

HAHA!!

Take that MEDIA!!!!

[capt. norm]

McCain must have the absolute worst advisors known to science. They know how to get on the wrong side of nearly every issue.

[conservativecorner]

If a terrorist had information that could save thousands or tens of thousands of lives, there is no question as to what should be done. All other questions are rendered obsolete after considering this one vital question.

[holden]

Since they have license to kill to defeat the enemy, they should be understood to have license to torture if doing so will help defeat the enemy, directly or indirectly.

McCain can outlaw torture of terrorists in home state of ARIZONA if he wants to. But - when it comes to the entire nation, I don't trust him to always do the 'right thing' when it comes to the defense of all the U.S. citizens!

[Soul Seeker]

Well, I didn't need a poll to tell me this.

I do find it interesting AP/IPSOS couldn't manufacture another result. This clearly isn't what they wanted.

Too bad McCain and the cowardly Republicans that will not challenge him, saving nine, would rather protect terrorists against the will, more importantly, SAFETY of the public.

Most in U.S., ....say torture justified

And this means what exactly? Most Americans support abortion, so I suppose that makes it right.

[kidd]

The media continues to lump all torture into the same boat.

Does torture mean
- rape and dismemberment, or
- panties on the head and the comfy chair?

[Publius6961]

War is the last resort. Wars should be fought to protect ones's citizens. Winning as quickly as possible is the second serious concept here.

As soon as "rules" are allowed in wars, asinine results like these discussions ensue.

You want me to fight your war for you? Don't give me any rules!

You want to make rules? You better be there beside me, experiencing the results. Otherwise don't bother me!

[The_Victor]

The activities that I have read about that the MSM keeps calling torture are allowed under the Geneva convention. I reject the notion that the USA is torturing anyone, and therefor requires no justification whatsoever.

[Blzbba]

Yeah, and many polls show that Americans think Bush is doing a bad job.

Polls are useless and this one is no different.

[rightwinggoth]

"It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again!"

[eleni121]

Could someone give me a definition of "torture" by the US in the war on terror?

no sugar with your coffee? No hi def TV? No access to Ramsey Clark?

[rfreedom4u]

Terrorists are NOT SUBJECT to the Geneva Convention. They do not wear uniforms and attacks civilian targets. Get whatever info you can from them, then shoot them.

[wolfcreek]

It's funny how I knew this already but, NOBODY ASKED ME!

[Just mythoughts]

Interesting thread below.

Of course torture can never be justified, but making the enemy uncomfortable can.

[airborne]

Nowhere in the story does it define 'torture'.

I am in favor of coercive interrogation, as was used by the CIA recently, to include waterboarding.

Also, I approve of drugs (truth serum) as an acceptable means of obtaining information.
