On the evening of 9/11/2001, I thought the world was ending. I had no idea if we'd see another day, another week or another year. I lived just a short distance from the World Trade Towers.
Little did I know that people like Gina Haspel would spring into action and give us another day, another week, and heck, so far almost 18 years.

Thank you Gina. You did what you had to do to protect us. May God Bless you.

It’s not waterboarding if you use diesel.

Hmm. I remember when Christopher Hitchens volunteered to be waterboarded because he said it wasn't really torture. He didn't last 30 seconds and quickly changed his mind.

So - go get waterboarded and let us know

After you, since you think waterboarding is no big thing. Get back to us after you get done crying after not lasting the first 30 seconds.

Having the courage to stick with your declared principles or not is a somewhat more interesting question, but you guys already decided on "not", so...

God Bless John McCain. A REAL Patriot........ People like him know what Torture is. Gina Haspel didn't give me JACK. And I'm a NYer just like you and I have no wish to drag us back to medieval times.

At what point has this choice been offered to anyone? I mean, for real, not just as a silly question on C-D.

She gave you 17.5 years which you might not have right now. Do you have kids, grandchildren? She's kept them safe too.

War is ugly and messy and evil imo...... Last resort. Torture is on a whole other level of evil. When you are under the torture you will say anything and everything to make it stop. A human being would say their own mother was Bin Laden's top terrorist if they were being tortured. If we have no morals then what's the point of pretending ? ... I also want to point out that there will come a day when it's not just brown people being tortured. Chickens always come home to roost. When the Nazis did it to their war prisoners it was an ugly part of western "civilization". When Columbus did it to the natives it was "history". Let's not bring that back. Leave that to reruns of Game of Thrones.....
