Study what France did in Algeria, then study what happened in consequence, look around at what the torturers are defending here on FR today, and then we will talk. No doubt our actual men in the field are vastly better than the hotheads here. But if they aren't, I can promise them all courts martial and firing and long jail sentences - soon.
There will be
NO court martials, no firing squads, and NO jail sentences for ANY of those who engaged in the water boarding, sleep deprivation, playings of THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS; NONE! The president has already taken care of that.
Here's a helpful hint..............YOU AREN'T THE PRESIDENT, YOU AREN'T A MEMBER OF CONGRESS, YOU DON'T HEAD THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, AND YOU AREN'T A FEDERAL NOR MILITARY JUDGE! In other words, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER!
