So waterboarding a man, or 100 men, is the same thing as killing 3000 unarmed innocent people. I don't understand how the two are the same. I would much rather meet my maker knowing I waterboarded a terrorist, instead of meeting him knowing I killed 1000s of innocent men women and children, by burning them with jet fuel. This is the trouble with the PC liberal folks. They never want to talk about specific actions, but rather look at mystical broad "ideas". Let's have a discussion comparing the Taloban (spelling?) male, to the American family man. Then tell me again how we are no better than they are.
