Hitler tortured people. So did Bush and Cheney. Amazing how good old Americans don't support bad people.

Hitler tortured and killed in order to exterminate an entire race of people.

We tortured (in VERY FEW CASES) for the purpose of SAVING innocent human life. And maybe if someone had been harshly questioned sufficiently, those 40 women and children who died today in Iraq from a female suicide bomber might still be alive.

And you know something, I bet you wouldn't be so "noble" if you managed to nab a member of a bunch of psychopathic murderers who managed to kidnap your loved ones. In fact, I imagine you wouldn't even wait for the police to arrive to read him his rights and get him a lawyer. You'd probably be threatening his very life, demanding that he tell you where his friends were taking your family.

But you can't understand the difference, can you?

Maybe you need to spend a few years watching videos of innocent people being beheaded to feel a little less sympathetic to people who have no regard for the very rules that you believe we should uphold.
