When does it stop?
First we had to release a bunch of CIA memos for some sort of BS witch-hunt, now the ACLU is suing to get pictures of "abused" captives released? Can anyone explain to me what good either of these acts will accomplish? Will the PC left ever be happy, as long as America is a world power? I just wish that every miserable asshat out there that hates America, would just freekin leave it.

Since when does opposing the use of torture in my name make me a "miserable asshat that hates America"?

We're supposed to be the good guys! The "white hats"! It's hard to convince the world of that when we behave so poorly.

Information received under torture is notoriously unreliable. Torturing prisoners makes it much more likely our boys will have to go through it.

As far as I'm concerned, torture is un-American and anybody who would condone it really loses credibility.

The USSR was a superpower too. Did their ends justify their means?

since when does being in disagreement with the actions of my government mean that i hate America?

face facts. we tortured captives in Gitmo. oh yeah, we used "enhanced interrogation tactics". you can call a turd a rose, it'll still smell like shit.

two wrongs don't make a right. torture is wrong, regardless the reason(s) for it. those who authorized it should be punished.

For the record, I fully support "torture". That is all.
