I see. We don’t torture (we were repeatedly assured) and besides, it worked. Why should anyone believe these sorry liars?
You know what? I don’t care if it works. It’s wrong. Do you get the concept of “wrong”? Do you understand that naked utility is not sufficient for a Christian (you are a Christian, right?) The morality of an act is not contingent on its effectiveness. Please try to understand that — or else stop calling yourself a Christian.
Actually it isn't wrong. Jesus himself advocated putting a millstone around someones neck and throwing him or her in the river.
Who are you to argue with Jesus?
“I dont care if it works. Its wrong.”
So you’d rather have people DIE because information that could easily have been extracted was instead left alone?
You would rather consign people to needless death?
And you call YOURSELF a christian?
There are PAGANS that are more righteous than you.
If the act of torture in defense of this country is wrong, then so is dropping a bomb on an enemy emplacement. So is one of our soldiers shooting an enemy. So is a tank firing into a building of hostiles.
All of these acts are done in the interest of defending this country. If we can’t do one, then we shouldn’t do any of them. Let’s just quit and go home.
