I think one of the questions about such "techniques" is: "How reliable is the information?" When someone is that scared of repeated torture, chances are pretty good they'll say practically anything their captors want to hear (true or not) . |

Waterboarding can be called off by the terrorist scum being waterboarded. |

If we're letting the terrorists call the shots on acceptable practices, why don't we start finding and killing their families? When we catch them we can stake them on posts along the road to Kabul. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
Yes! |

How does that even make sense? We say we're opposed to torture and you ask "Why aren't you opposed to torture?" Who's doing it isn't the issue. We can't make the terrorists change their behavior short of prevailing against them and removing the grounds for future terrorists to arise. We can control our own behavior. |

You ever noticed how the 8th amendment of the US constitution says the following? Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. |

Marching in this country against terrorists would accomplish nothing. We have no control over them, but that doesn't mean we should conduct ourselves in the same manners they do. We as America should be setting an example, regardless of what other people do. |

This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway.
I am asking where the outrage is. I rarely come across people who both cry out against torturing terrorists and also cry out againts the terrorists themselves. How often do you come across it? I have yet to see you do it, for example. Will you? |

Torture is ineffective. |
