Those are lies. Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were military targets. Goodman is an ignorant ass.
If used on a non US citizen, I support whatever it takes to save American citizen’ lives. Rove is mostly right on track. You might ask, what US citizens would I be comfortable in torturing? Here is the list: Obama//Clinton crime families, Soros, Bezos, and some of the leaders of the lying old media.
The nukes saved thousands of American lives.
Here is the problem.
To paraphrase U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart:
I can’t describe torture, but I’ll know it when I see it.,,
What is torture?
If we do it to our own troops as a training technique?
Want to avoid “ torture”?
Confess what you know about plots to murder.
Wth besides democrats and liberals think terrorists have the right to silence?
Tune in Fox News and listen to Shemp Smith commentate on the royal wedding.
Both the Germans and Japanese often hid their military installations amid their civilian populations. They are to blame for endangering their own civilians.
They saved japanese lives too.
Was 9/11 moral? How about the hundreds of acid attacks, rapes, church burnings, car and van attacks and murders? Are those moral? Get the information by whatever means possible to thwart future attacks. It really isn’t brain surgery to figure out. Frankly, the question is getting tiresome to address.
“The allied firebombing of Dresden in World War II had no military purpose. Nor did the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
Utter Bullcrap.

There was a war. Destroying the neemy is always worthwhile.
The destruction of Tokyo was greater than both hiroshima and Nagasaki put to gether
Destitution and Lamentation are good
The movie “Unthinkable” deals with the issue of how far do we go in torturing someone when the stakes are high. Very thought provoking movie except for a really stupid ending.
The lifeboat situation and the trolley track switch problem are unusual situations. I don’t see how it is possible to formulate a general rule based on those rare cases. Also, there doesn’t seem to be a general rule that would apply to them.
In war, if your enemy is torturing your soldiers, do you torture theirs? What if they gain a tactical advantage through the torture?
I think torture should be available as an option.
The left opposes torture only when a country they hate uses it. It’s perfectly OK with them when savages use it.
You're a meanie!
No and yes.
I find it hard to ban "torture" when it's okay to shoot, stab, immolate, crush, suffocate, poison, maim, or blow up your enemy. In war, ALL rules get turned upside down.
There is no "nice" way to defeat your foe.
Perspective:
3 people dunked in water and not told to sleep is not torture.
Sororities all tougher on their applicants.
Despite the number of combat casualties in military action since the end of WWII, we have not had to mint any new Purple Heart medals since 1945. In anticipation of the massive casualties expected in a full scale invasion of the Japanese home islands, the Department of War, as it was known at the time, minted over a million of them. The nuclear bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima saved all those lives.
