I'm not sure, but it seems like you are disagreeing with my point, but then agreeing with it. Are you sure you understand that I am one of those opposed to torture? I thought I was pretty clear.Manedwolf said:That, too. No matter how heinous the crime, it's still the America I grew up in that gives due process and a fair trial, not secret prisons and torture.
It says...or said, now, "Look at us, we are the shining example, we are BETTER than you scum, because we give a fair trial to the accused, we stand for freedom and justice."
Now we say "well, we need to be 'realistic', and it's a 'different kind of war', so we're going to use the same methods you scum do."
That just lowers us.
