I have never even visited Israel, nor do I belong to any Zionist organization. But thanks for demonstrating your fundamental anti- semitism.

Torture is not okay, as a normal interrogation technique. But it is not as bad in all circumstances, and may be justified, depending upon what is at stake. This is only common sense. If it is acceptable to wage war, under any circumstance, and to accept "collateral damage" (i.e., civilian casualties), then it is obviously acceptable, in extreme circumstances, to engage in torture.

This is not appropriate, el_gaviero.. see FL's header. I think you ought to go back to your other country, Israel, where this kind of logic is accepted.
