Liberals spent history class either passed out on drugs or bad mouthing the US. They obviously have no idea of the frame of reference I am using. And two, not one liberal could name a country that did not torture our troops. Regardless of our policy of benelevance towards EPWs, other countries practiced none.

I know some use it as a "reason" not to torture, but I don't need it.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it you right wing fundies who are constantly berating the "left" for its supposed "moral relativism?" Well if so, then count our distaste for torture as counter-proof to that argument; as we simply and completely reject torture as wrong. Always. In any situation.<BR/><BR/>Call me crazy, but yes, I would rather than some people die that we let ourselves be dragged into the muck of torture and perversion. The line must be drawn somewhere. And I draw it here.<BR/><BR/>Waterboarding, under which CIA operatives have said the "latest 10-12 seconds" passes the test with me. For these were people who KNEW they weren't going to die and KNEW the procedure was only a "test."<BR/><BR/>Piltdown ManAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-17774194584588279312007-12-17T20:24:00.000-05:002007-12-17T20:24:00.000-05:00John K. says: Yes I am aware of Washington's poli...John K. says: Yes I am aware of Washington's policy. Are you aware you just proved my point? 25% of Continential Troops captured by the British died in captivity. (Re: Almost a Miracle) They were held in horrendous old troops ships in NY Bay. So regardless of what Washington did, it did not deter the British from torturing our troops. Bannister Tarelton come to mind, King's Mountain? Now are you also aware that Washington hung Major Andre without a trial? Do you even know who Major Andre is? Shitrock you proved your ignorance. Back to History class with the likes of you. This time instead of bad mouthing the US pay attention.

If the position of the left is that our limited use of torture, ie waterboarding, (which ain't even close) makes our enemies more likely to torture our troops and that it causes us to be 'hated' than answer this. Which enemy have we faced since 1776 that has not used torture on our troops? Which nation state or radical group has used torture on our citizens only because we did it to them first? And futhermore, why didn't our enemies like when we refrained from torture use? Hmmmmmm ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
