To hear you accept their action

WHAT?!?!?

I did NOT accept TORTURE, IF indeed that WAS their action!!!! I did NOT ACCEPT anything!

All I said was that breaking arms and shooting someone is NOT torture. So MAYBE, there was NO torture, if those are the only damages on this girl. Maybe she was shot in combat and that was why she was in the hospital (and not in a dungeon) in the first place.

Or if Iraqis THOUGHT it was torture, they must be very dumb indeed.

Or, and I thought this was obvious but maybe not, if US media think they can convince people that breaking arms & legs and shooting people (so they can die before they speak?) is "torture", than they must have a dim view of their audience.

I realize you are emotional on this subject. However, this does NOT give you the right to ACCUSE ME of ACCEPTING ANYTHING that is a mere speculation at this point. ESPECIALLY something as INHUMAN as TORTURE!!!

Especially as all I have done is to QUESTION that speculation.
