People want to put their lives with many others at stake because we are pouring water down a guys nose that wants to kill us?

Torture is ineffective.

Now, who's ready to bitch about the torture caused by the damn terrorists? You know... the people who are boned up about torturing YOU. Where's the outrage over that??????

We cannot dictate the morals of our enemies;only our own.

I'd like to end with a pertinent quote,

... The United States is committed to the world-wide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture and in undertaking to prevent other cruel and unusual punishment. I call on all nations to speak out against torture in all its forms and to make ending torture an essential part of their diplomacy...
