Is uncle-less and friend-less becuase on jackhole flew a plane into buildings good enough for you?

That's me, and no one should suffer the way they did in the name of their deaths.

Two wrongs don't make a right - I learned that in Kindergarten.

Wow...be all you can be indeed. Dare to aim high.

It's all but certain that our bombs have decapitated many folks, as well as crushed, burnt, and otherwise dismembered them.

While we are at war, if they need to do things in order to extract information to prevent another 9/11, so what? A "mock execution"? Give me a break! We are not killing anybody. After what happened, a little humiliation and a little fear doesn't seem like much.
I'm beginning to wonder if when obama said "there would be transparency" if he really meant on what everybody else was doing.

President Obama is the Commander in Chief and the head of the executive branch of government; the army and the CIA do not constitute "everybody else."

When the news media reports on what the CIA or whatever department, is doing, our enemies also see everything, they don't need to know!

And yet, WE DO need to know. If you can devise a way to inform American citizens what the government our tax dollars pay to support is doing without letting enemies know about it, so much the better. Until you can, you can just cry in your beer over our free press.

It's funny...you red-blooded types are frothingly enthusiastic about torturing (and bombing) folks to "defend our freedoms", but don't seem too happy when anyone actually uses them.

I for one am all about people using thier freedoms, but if your going to **** and moan and lump every military person in a group as someone who tortures at least a damn clue about what your talking about. The number of bad apples in minute compared to all those who are doing the right thing. I dont know why I would expect any less from people who fight the war from home and dont share in the sacrafice.

You have those types who think of the military as the guys from Apocalypse Now.


I thought they did a study that shows torture doesn't mean results. That the person being tortured will say whatever to stopped being tortured. How is it benifical to get false information and waste time or possibly put American lives in jeopardy.

If they don't then the investigation should show that
