Well, being Jack Bauer, he would torture for information and kill if required. Of course, he only kills the guilty, and is incapable of harming innocents, so
there's no risk of mistakes. As you know, action hero instincts are flawless, so we can safely place our best interests in their hands.

He was right there in the thick of the torture authorization. He's complicit in this. That you would actually give any credence to anything that George Tenet says, after years of making fun of him for his "slam dunk" comment, makes me laugh out loud. |

has there ever been a case (other than movies and TV) where information was obtained through torture that couldnt have been obtained by other means and
actually saved lives? I dont care what anyone does to these terrorists, but I am a bit uneasy about torture being official US policy. I guess I am just
conservative that way.
And why does the liberal media continue to whitewash Bush era lawlessness by referring to "harsh interrogation techniques" when we know now that they were indeed torture? |

Lord knows, if we hadn't tortured people, at least a dozen cities would have been nuked by now!

Who would think torture would work with terrorists. Weren't they raised to give their life for their cause?
So, I would think that torture would not work with them at all. Kamikaze Terrorists knew they would die on the planes, yes. |

See, I agree that I dont care how this information is obtained if it saves lives. However, there isnt any evidence that information obtained from torture is
reliable or couldnt be obtained by other means.

If we'd just sack up and kill everyone outside of America, then we wouldn't have to worry about terrorism anymore.
Except from the gays. But with them, all we have to do is stop them from getting married, then they won't be able to make babies. And then there would be no more gays after this generation. It really is that simple. |

I've decided not only would I torture someone to save my children's lives, I'd probably also torture someone to get their parking spot. Would that
be wrong?

This thread is torture. I bet most of you would cry uncle if they took away your Dr. Scholl's insoles.

PoChop, you have a suspicious interest in my red-blooded American insoles.
We'd like you to report to the local CIA office for some questioning. |
