The people who complain about waterboarding are actually the same people who complain about the completely justified and well-deserved bombings of Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

“The people who complain about waterboarding are actually the same people who complain about the completely justified and well-deserved bombings of Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”

And yet remain silent on gas chambers in concentration camps, the London Blitz and similiar atrocities.

“critics say it can result in long-lasting psychological damage”

They also say leaving these guys in Guantanamo leaves long lasting damage. Barking dogs, underwear on the head, serving chardoney above 49 degrees causes long lasting psychological damage.
They never mention that strapping a bomb to themselves causes long lasting psychological damage too.

Those who say let’s do evil so that good may come of it are justly condemned.

The people who complain about waterboarding are actually the same people who complain about the completely justified and well-deserved bombings of Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

"Any act of war aimed indiscriminately at the destruction of entire cities of extensive areas along with their population is a crime against God and man himself. It merits unequivocal and unhesitating condemnation."

"The people who complain about waterboarding are actually the same people who complain about the completely justified and well-deserved bombings of Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

Some are, but many are not. Many who admire or even revere FDR and/or Truman detest Bush. Think of Jimmy Carter, for example.

The people who complain about waterboarding are actually the same people who complain about the completely justified and well-deserved bombings of Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Those people would appear to have some consistency in their logic. On the other hand, those that believe the use of WMD's on Japanese cities and the wholesale destruction of Dresden were justified and "well-deserved" are the same people who are shocked and mystified when the US is attacked in such an indiscriminate manner. They would believe that nothing could possibly justify that kind of slaughter of innocents. An inconsistent logic.
