I realize that certain of our enemies have gone WAY beyond smacking around. That's not the point. So don't go there. The point is if they had never gone beyond smacking around would that be ok with the people of the US to use those types of measures that were used by us as the enemy sought to gain information from us.
So if torture is just A-OK, how long does it take us to descend down the slippery slope to sawing off heads? If killing people accidentally while torturing them for information or just because is just peachy keen, where to draw the line............decisions, decisions.
Answer: We are the good guys and we better act like it.
--great quote. Nearly all of the so-called "victims" of purported CIA "torture" are still alive , (unless killed in combat against US forces)--
--wonder if a few years from now any organization will be investigating and threatening THE ONE with "war crimes" for the drone program?
"I'm getting pretty good at this killing people" per NYT article on the Obama "darkened room"--
It’s not torture if they can walk away
Condoning it for certain circumstances, condones it for all.
Before this is all said and done, the US Government will apologize to Al Qaeda for all post-911 “aggression”.
9/11 Widow: “Torture Was Watching What Happened on 9/11”

Terry Strada, a New Jersey native whose husband Tom Strada was killed in the 9/11 terror attacks, was confounded at Senate Democrats decision to release a report on CIA torture when, she said, torture was watching what happened on 9/11.
What torture wastorture is watching what happened on 9/11, watching people jump out of the buildings to save themselves, to die as opposed to being burned to death or smoke I had to listen to my husband on the phone when he called me that morning. Torture is telling your children that their father was killed by terrorists on American soil and our government isnt standing by our side to help us go after the people that caused it, Strada told CNNs Carol Costello on Thursday.
So I live in a tortured environment, and I dont think pouring water up their nose or making them walk around naked it doesnt matter to me.
Strada, who has actively supported the Justice Against Supporters of Terrorism Act, said she was frustrated that the Senate has refused to declassify a report containing information leading up to the 9/11 attacksinformation Strada says would help give closure for her and her fatherless children.
Who funded 9/11? Who was behind 9/11? Why am I living without a husband? Why are my children living without a father? We dont address that. We want to talk about what techniques weve used, Strada said.

Speaking of stains, there’s Diane Feinstain.
Just another step in the left’s campaign to destroy America.
“The CIA Smacked Around A Few Terrorists. So What?” Exactly. The days of the Geneva Convention are gone as long as we oppose the expansion of Islamist thug culture.
Highly inaccurate title: It wasn’t just smacking and they weren’t just terrorists, there were 26 people who were innocent and still tortured.
