You are the one with the cute tactics. You whole argument is based on a completely fraudulent accusation. Water boarding in NOW way approaches the normal level of barbarity engaged in by the Terrorists. Your accusation is an utter lie.
We do not stoop to their tactics as anyone who bothers to study the issue rather then flame out on the base of an emotionally hysteric knee jerk ignorance of the topic knows.
In addition, there is no moral equivalence between the attacked and the aggressor. We are responding to, not initiating the aggression here.
Rather then cling to your pseudo intellectual "moral equivalence" dogmas, try actually thinking about the topic for a change.
I have thought about the topic. Long and hard. Torture is beneath us, regardless of how you cut it. The only ones being “pseudo-intellectual” are the numbskulls who engage in the “ticking time-bomb” scenario argument style.
