I fear that the left has hijacked this issue by redefining “torture” to mean “any technique whatsoever for applying duress.” Under that definition it would be torture for a police agency to tell a murder suspect that if he didn’t confess he’d be tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The ‘torture’ argument is torture. This post is an example of the inability to have any realitic discussion of the issue. Instead we have a bunch of weakwilled Western idiots, that think the we must be cuddley with Islam. These soap box moralist like in this post are immoral as they never seem to think about the innocents that have been tortured and murdered world wide by these poor Muslim prisoners. I say put it to a vote, the choice being, release to USA or small caliber applied to the back of the head.
