If so, I can only ask why are defending a man who has no problem with shredding the eighth amendment by loudly supporting torture ("Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted)" and giving the president the power to suspend the most ancient right of habeas corpus.

And exactly which law is it that grants constitutional rights to terrorists who may be shot on sight under the Geneva Convention and aren't even Americans, or on American soil.

How did that come to pass?

Moreover, waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation techniques", while they might be unpleasant as hell, shouldn't be confused with torture.

We wouldn't torture our own troops, now, would we?

Who decides? President Obama? Obama probably thinks you are a terrorist for visiting this site. You are far more trusting of politicians to make this distinction that I am.
