I have been watching this poster too.
Finally concluded that maybe he changed the spelling of his surname to fool us: Kerry/Carey.

Bush adopted McCains plan from last year and now he is against it ? Is he working for the RATS ? He can forget about the GOP nomination and he knows it with this action.

Jim was being much to easy on McLoser on that thread

I have no sympathy. He listened to Mrs. McCain's JAG interpretation of the Geneva Convention and enlisted the help of a bitter Colin Powell.

Jim was being much to easy on McLoser on that thread In all of my many years there has never been a GOP candidate for president that I couldn't support. McCain will be my first should he somehow become the nominee.

bitter Colin Powell. I have said from the beginning that Powell was GW's biggest mistake.

I am thankful Powell's wife (Alma?) stopped him from running for elected office, because he might very well have won.

As I understand it, the rules regarding interrogation are vague at best, and can be interpreted so as to preclude any kind of interrogation at all. But, I also understand that non-unifomed combatants are considered partisans or terrorists, and can be legally executed on the battlefield. It seems to be that this is where all this is leading, no prisoners. Interrogation may still take place, be we all know that a dead man tells no tales.
To: John Carey
What's your very own opinion?

Carey also cares about Americans still imprisoned in Vietnam.
To: Texasforever

I second that. Even if the government is using genuine methods of torture on the Islamofascists (and I have no reason to believe it is, given where all the squawking is coming from), if it saves the life of even one non-Islamofascist then it's more than worth it.
To: John Carey
The Navy pilot held captive for five years and tortured by the North Vietnamese said Americans will be captured in future wars, and the U.S. must not set a bad example by allowing harsher interrogation techniques than permitted by the Geneva Conventions.That's funny, I didn't realize that all the terrorist groups were parties to the Geneva Convention. In wars between a signatory to the Geneva Convention and a non-signatory (e.g., between Germany and the USSR 1941-45), the Convention has never applied. So I don't see what McCain's point is. Does he think the terrorists who behead captives are abiding by the Geneva Convention?
To: John Carey
If McCain gets his way will be deader.

We must claim a piece of paper even though to the terrorists it means nothing. We must claim the moral high groud even if that leaves us all dead. John McCain is quite simply clueless about the nature of our enemy.

Ah, Mr. McCain, we're not "better" than this, actually. Beneath the veneer of civilization lies a savagery that the Japanese, for one, did not imagine we could muster before we filled their caves with napalm and touched it off. The only sense in which we are "better" is that we are better at it than our enemies. Quite a bit better. It isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it's a fact.
