I can see some liberals here defending the killers and making Pearl out to be the bad guy.

Liberals have a hard time understand just who it is we are dealing with.

Liberals and Obama have weakened us to the point that we are vulnerable.

Sad.

One word...rendition.

Never, ever.

Anyone who condones torture should FIRST be submitted to it themselves. IF they like it, ALL of their loved ones have to go through it, before the consent is validated.

Yes. I believe that we should torture all corrupt politicians and cops by putting them in prison in the general population.

It would be OK to torture conservatives, just not real Americans.

He won't watch it. It's been posted for him before and he refuses to educate himself. He had no clue who Daniel Pearl or Nick Berg were, never even heard of either of them yet still has opinions about it. Incredible.
