Ah, torture is needed.

You disgust me. I have nothing more to say to you, don't ever bother replying to me again. I just want you to know that given the choice between saving the life of a feral cat or a torture supporter, well, it's minou's lucky day.

Oh yes, indeed it is needed to extract information in a quick manner to save American lives and locate the enemy. Wining and dining them will not get the job done.

Ms.. Palin may not be President, but she has that wide appeal by Conservatives and Librarians alike. Even traditional Democrat's like her. She continues to bring the issue to the front. Her out spoken views has demonstrated the lack of understand that President has and his administration.

We need here to perhaps take on a role as the head of the Dept. of Energy. She is a well qualified public servant and is not self serving to the point where it gets in the way of " What is best for the Country" Sadly the Clintons and the Obamas of this country have their own agenda!

Trying to keep from
lmao!

That's a lie.
Try selling it to the present military and intelligence leaders in Washington and see how far you get.

Al Quieda's main man in the middle east, the guy who first came up with the idea of using our airliners as bombs and was the man in charge of the 9/11 operation, was captured in Iraq and was water boarded 167 times.
He told the CIA everything he knew, but there was nothing the CIA didn't already know in anything he said.

The same thing goes for everyone who was captured and tortured in Guantanamo. Lots of old outdated information, and nothing at all that was unknown. When we eventually learn what torture produced in all the black rendition spots in Europe and elsewhere, I fully expect the results will be no better.

And that's why the military and intelligence have dropped torture as a means of extracting new and vital info.
The CIA learned it was faster and more reliable to call a captured terrorists' mother and let her talk to her child than it was to torture him. The Israelis dropped torture after developing the techniques we used for strenuous discomfort that is just shy of torture because they found it more productive, and the CIA still uses that after they learned how.

Torture simply doesn't provide what intelligence needs. Our technology has outstripped any need for torture, and has been much more reliable for years. Satellites and drones and wiretaps do not lie and are updated in seconds continually.

But thanks for another Savage American brand on our collective butts- like we needed more of them. We are no longer seen as being the good guys by the much of rest of the world. Torture wiped out all the decades of good will we engendered earlier.
Nowadays, a lot of the world see us as nothing but a bigger, richer Pakistan, ready and willing to rip flesh and get down to torturing innocents.
Thanks for your contribution over the net, where most opinions are formed from wold-wide these days.

You are fully entitled to your opinions, but I wish you would think about where you post them. Your statement isn't going away ever now, even if your thoughts change over time.

That has to be one of the biggest load of s#!t I have heard in a long time. Palin could not win an election on the national scene except for some ultra red state that would vote for Hitler if he was anti gov. Palin would be destroyed by Clinton. She knows more about everything than Palin would learn in two lifetimes. It would be fun to see her get her ass kicked in the debates.
