Zonder. You said...." Yes, one can argue that the victims suffered psychologically in the last few minutes of their lives "..... Here is what I said ....." IMO. terror is torture, it is psychological pain instead of physical pain inflicted on an entire country. Don't you think that the muslim homicide bombers in Israel are guilty of torture and that is exactly what their intention is...psychological torture and of course pain due to the ingredients in their bombs...rat poison and such..."...... I was not talking about the last few minutes of the victims lives as you well know although that is a most tragic thing....what I meant was the muslim terrorists intention was to torture an entire country psychologically. Just as that is their intention when they blow up innocent people in Israel and other countries....but you knew what I was getting at...right? You said..." There can be no justification for torture.".... Agreed..Now if there were only some way to get this message through to the muslim terrorists............. You said...." By the way, I think it is really pale to try to use the suffering of the WTC victims as justification for torture.".... Now surely you are not saying that I in some way inferred this, are you? If so please show me where?
