I hope scum like Dershowitz who suggested we use torture read this article. Just say no to torture. That is, my friend, why we are better than you.

I don't know what Dershowitz said, but just to play Devil's Advocate, let me point out that there's a difference between extracting information and sadism. The Iraqis appear to be mostly sadists. Perhaps they need a little in return.

We should not use torture except in extraordinary circumstances. And contrary to your holier_than_thou, there are some

Just say no to torture.
=============================

Could we at least make an exception for Helen Thomas?

Seriously, there are circumstances in which I feel torture is justified. It is certainly justified to get info that a nuclear device is planted in NY and the clock is ticking.

"I hope scum like Dershowitz who suggested we use torture read this article. Just say no to torture."

But then again, "torture" is a relative term, is it not?

For instance, having to watch Alan Dersh-Bag's face on CNN is "torture" to me...
