The American people voted on people like you and said we'd had enough. I'm not sorry you lost.
Do you think this is just "Bush specific"? I was a Fred Thompson -> McCain fan. I never really like Bush because I didn't appreciate the nepotism. For that reason, I didn't like the Clintons.
Harsh interrogations are nothing new. And contrary to popular belief, on some subjects nothing else will suffice. If a prisoner believes he's completely safe, he'll feel far more likely to keep his mouth shut. And when the interrogator needs to know information about his terrorist network, or where the bomb factories are, or who's sheltering and/or indoctrinating the suicide bombers, you haven't got the luxury of playing "good cop". When you capture a member of a terrorist network, you're on a limited time frame because the remaining members will either advance their operational tempo, or spread to the winds. You have to get the information as fast as you can without being sadistic.
And that's really what it's all about.. being physical enough to not crossing the line between forceful and being sadistic. You do it not because you like it, but because you're focused upon saving innocent human lives, as well as the lives of your fellow soldiers.
You represent what is worst in Americans.
From the mouth of the moron who has no qualms about committing such a heinous crime as killing the "perp" in cold blood, but thinks slapping them around about in order get the information necessary for thwarting their plans to kill innocent civilians is ultimate evil.
When I'm dealing with an enemy that has respect for the Geneva Accords, and acts to abide by them, I definitely have the obligation to reciprocate. But when you're at war with illegal combatants (terrorists) you're not engaged in a law enforcement action. And this is even more the case with a fanatical enemy who is hell bent upon exterminating and purging the world of infidels like you and I. It's "Kill them before they kill you" in a fight to the death.. It's no place for pussies like you and your delusional perceptions of morality where you can justify killing a terrorist, but can't justify using force to make them "uncomfortable" for the purpose of saving the lives of innocent victims (who are the targets of these Jihadists).
Go crawl in your corner and suck your thumb.. Pray that there will be someone like me who will be willing to defend your miserable right to exist because you're too gutless to do it yourself.
