Nobody supported torture, nobody want war actually. We obey the Geneva Conventions because our opponent does the same with American POWs. That is impossible with these sand monkey terrorists. It has never demonstrated any desire to provide humane treatment to captured Americans.

Al Qaeda operates by launching surprise attacks on civilian targets with the goal of massive casualties. Yes or no?

Applying different standards to terrorists does not abandon Geneva, but only recognizes that the U.S. faces a stateless enemy never contemplated by the Conventions.

War is ugly. Anybody expect otherwise just need a reality check.

Sigh....This is OLD news. Gruber is testifying which is far more important than this. Yet the media would rather dwell on old news for political reasons.

And we ARE the good guys. We received valuable info that led to killings of terrorists among other things, despite what the liberals say.

If anyone gets hurt or killed due to this coming out again, I hope at the very least they're liberals who pity making terrorists uncomfortable and whatnot.

So in your view, the use of torture makes us the good guys?

We waterboarded three dudes. So what. I dont care. We received valuable info from them. This report is a farce and keep in mind most of these Democrats knew what was going on but didn't care until the media made politics out of it.
Where is the proof of this valuable information?
