Be careful what you condone. Anything good enough for the CIA is good enough for you local police department.
Wrong!
The local police department is bound to treat me as an American citizen, with inalienable rights assured by the Constitution.
The terrorists enjoy no such protection. Under the Geneva Accords, he military is free to shoot them on sight. The only restraints regarding their interrogation (or general treatment) are the restraints we choose to impose on ourselves.
I beginning to think that one of your problems is that you don't know much of what you're writing about.
This goes too far.
Since you are lecturing on about morality, how does one SOO focused equate a citizen of the USA to that of a un-uniformed enemy combatant?
Un-uniformed enemy combatants have been deemed to be so vile that they do not even fall under the coverage of the Geneva Convention. Would your high minded idealism also then render the Geneva Convention as being immoral?
If you ask me, I find your point that attempts to compare a US Citizen and an un-uniformed enemy combatant (really a psychopathic mass murdering terrorist) to be immoral on its face.
Please spare me the holier than thou attitude, its unbecoming of a true Christian IMO.
You were doing OK up to this point. Obtuse and pompous, but OK. The inability to distinguish in principle the CIA from your local police reveals the soft underbelly of your case. For whatever reason, you seem unable to recruit sound critical judgment on this subject. Sorry. Thanks for playing though.
