My first post:

If the intel being gathered by these techniques is of dubious value, then we certainly should reconsider our methods. But I have no moral misgivings whatsoever about extracting information from the vermin we capture. These are the same creatures that plant roadside bombs, behead people, drag burnt corpses through the streets, and fly airplanes into office buildings. It's hard to find much sympathy for their feigned umbrage at our moral "lapses."

There was something "uncivil" about that?

Not in the least. I have no argument with your basic premise, but with every accused conspiracy/political attack we have witnessed levied upon this administration, proved false by being mis-representative of the facts, or outright made-up lies... and we have witnessed traitorous turn-coats within the administration (such as powell and armitage) being discredited; I believe President Bush has EARNED the "benefit of doubt".

Your remark about my having faith in GOD and our President was uncivil however, IMHO. Argue on the merits of your beliefs, not upon my proclamation of faith.
