The U.S. government's torture policy is going to come back to bite us. It's yet another expansion of government power, and this policy will be thrown back in our face when our troops are similarly abused by a lawless regime.

But any policy that prompts its defenders to make comparisons to Jack Bauer must have serious consideration behind it, right?

Yeah, I’m sure our troops fear waterboarding MUCH MORE than they fear having their heads sawed off ...

Like the screen name.

when our troops are similarly abused by a lawless regime.

Our troops are "similarly abused" by the United States Military!

Our troops WISH all the had to fear were the "torture tactics" used by the U.S. government.

Ever heard of Pfc. Kristian Menchacha and Pvt. Thomas Tucker? Search for their stories adding "slaughtered" to your search criteria.
