I'm saying if one is in favor [of torture], then I don't see why they'd have a problem being a test subject? What's to test? Unless they are a complete hyprocrite [sic] which I suspect most of the torture advocates are. If an individual advocated - or pursued - the hurling of individuals off of the public welfare rolls, should they subseqently forfeit their job? Their car, their home? LPS5

If George Bush and his henchmen were found guilty of the part they played in engineering 9/11, and the murder of 3000 Americans, would you be against their being placed in front of a firing squad for treason? For some crimes only a death sentence will balance the books. <<<it just doesn't make any sense in a civilized society>>> Actually, it only makes sense in a civilized society. When a society fails to accept responsibility for holding criminals accountable for actions committed against society, that society ceases to be civilized. The end result is a criminal rule with honest citizens in constant danger from their criminal acts, which isn't a very far cry from where most population centers in America are today. When citizens fail to take responsibility for their own mutual protection, civilization is the first casualty.
