So Saddam's own killing of his son-in-law is OK by you? Along with all the thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) that Saddam tortured/killed is OK with you?

BWTF do I know.

 

What are you talking about? Are you attempting moral relativism between US and Iraq? I thought the bar was higher than that!

 

Honestly, I have zero problem with a terrorist who gets scared because a barking dog is used to get info out of him/her. Or they are forced to sit naked in a jail cell and have only pork BBQ sandwiches to eat. I really don't give 2 shits about if we "invade their privacy".

Ask the news reporter who got his head cut off, if his captors "respected" his rights.

 

zdave, this country is supposed be above that morally. If we are not, we are no better than they are. Are you truly OK with that scenario???? God, I hope not.

 

Then how do you suggest we go about getting info? With tea & cookies?

Of course I am against chopping off limbs if they give dont give out any info. But, making them sit naked in cell and giving them only bacon for food? How the hell does that harm them?

 

Psychological is just as powerful as physical...

 

The Geneva Convention is not just to protect enemy combatants... It is also intended to protect our service people if they become captured. Find me 1 republican senator who didn't avoid the draft and supports torture, or ignoring the Geneva Convention!
