I know exactly where Snark got the dull knife from. I saw it too. I watched the whole thing. It sickened me.
So you are basically saying that torture is okay as long as it is done by the American government and if somebody else did it it would be horrible and repugnant and he would stand trial for crimes against the Geneva commity(sp). That is hypocricy if I ever saw it.

Personally I cant find anything less american than torture either just like John said and that saying NO to state sponsored torture wont make you any less patriotic and for me it would actually make you more patriotic cause that just isnt the american way. The land of equal liberties and freedoms just dont go around torturing people.

Wanting your troops to win is a given yes naturally but at what cost? Winning by loosing other peoples faith in the US as a fair and just country? I honestly dont think that is a price anybody wants it´s country to pay and that is most likely the price it will cost.
Torture just shouldn´t be happening anywhere on this planet and especially not in the western part of the world.
