I was hoping to get some discussion on this to take a temperature of conservatives to help form some thoughts for a post at my blog.

Absurd, the Constitution doesn’t address treatment of enemy combatants, only criminal defendents and suspects.
Its perfectly legal to summarily courtmartial and shoot spy and saboteur enemy combatants acting out of uniform. I don’t see where less severe treatment can even be questioned on a legal basis.
To: Jay777
Including Nancy Pelosi who had asked, in 2003, if the “techniques were harsh enough?”

The ACLU can masticate feces, auto-impregnate, and expire.
Please.

Huge question here for the American sheeple.
Who would you rather have protecting your ass; Dick Cheney or the ACLU?
Confusing question? You’re dismissed. Either brainwashed already or too stupid to answer.
Undecided? Both A & B above.

I saw something on FR, on one of the "Water Boarding" articles. It referenced the "outrage" of the dems that the U.S. would use such "barbaric" and "inhumane" techniques (Barf!).
The article stated that the Congress, including Pelosi, had been briefed in 2003. She asked if it was "harsh" enough to get rusults.
Sorry, I can't find a link.

Here’s the meat of the story: Sorry no link.
Pelosi declined to comment directly on her reaction to the classified briefings. But a congressional source familiar with Pelosi’s position on the matter said the California lawmaker did recall discussions about enhanced interrogation. The source said Pelosi recalls that techniques described by the CIA were still in the planning stage — they had been designed and cleared with agency lawyers but not yet put in practice — and acknowledged that Pelosi did not raise objections at the time.

That’s true of course. The methods we do use are already effective, there is no need for torture and the possible psychological effects that administering torture could cause to our people.
But, torture, although it seems usually unwise and inappropriate, is certainly constitutional and legal and is not a civil rights issue when we’re talking about unlawful combatants and terrorists.
To: Jay777
Does this mean the American Taxpayer will be footing the bill the aclu investigators will be running up to invesitage the adminstrations TORTURE (panties on the head) and ABUSE (making these arabs take a bath and wear clean clothes)? Seems we pay everytime one of America’s privileges is taken away and NOW asking a terrorist a question is called TORTURE AND ABUSE. I think we should STOP paying the aclu. They’re grubby little hands do us NO favor.

I've read that the CIA has waterboarded a grand total of four Islamoturds. Several more Naval Aviators were waterboarded in my SERE School class in 1978.

We have always known that the CIAs use of torture was approved from the very top levels of the U.S. government, yet the latest revelations about knowledge from the president himself and authorization from his top advisers only confirms our worst fears, said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU Bite me,

The ACLU is one of the most monied organizations in America and yet to my knowledge they have never been sued for any damage they have done to all the people of the nation. Why is that?
