I personnally don't condone the use of any of this, by anyone. There was a time when this Nation had some moral fiber. It seems we are all past that now.

Oh, you mean like in G Washington's army when they would set AWOL soldiers on a board(spread legs on the edge of a board, documented)for hours as punishment? This was just for our own troops. We have always used "enhanced interrogation techniques" to get info from prisoners when minutes counted and we used to be a lot rougher than water boarding. If anything we were more moralistic to prisoners during the Bush administration(and believe me I am no great fan of GW)than at any other time in history.

Water boarding, sacring people and subjecting them to cold and other psychological methods are not torture and we don't use them against all prisoners, only those we suspect have information that will save AMERICAN lives. Treatment of prisoners by the USA is far more humane than any other nation. Go to Gitmo see for yourself.

You are either incredibly naive or you are a troll, take your pick.

Third option: moral.

I can't control the morals and behaviors of others, pasrticularly those who have been dead for some time. For the rest, I can only suggest you will stand before God to answer for your choices.
