The Bush Administration is addicted to torture.

Funny how you recognize the wrongness of the terrorists when they engage in torture, but you don't see that it's wrong when Bush does it. I abhor torture and evil, regardless of who perpetrates it. If I had a voice in what the beheaders do, I'd express that to them. It's only in a democracy where the people have a voice. By condemning Bush for engaging in torture it does not imply a pass for others engaging in the same. That is only your twisted logic. All I'm saying is Bush, do not act like a terrorist. Emulating evil accomplishes only one thing...it makes one evil. Jesus understood this. Orca

Terrorists, as their name suggests, are the ones who have no laws and are expected to act in a barbaric way. Thus, as a nation, we all support "bringing them to justice." We in the US have our notion of justice based on civilized laws. When the Busies violate those we certainly express ourselves and condemn them since that does not represent our society. Besides, when do we have to condemn terrorists. We bring them to justice instead, which is worse that condemnation.

Bush has created thousands of new terrorists. His policies have actually helped Osama Bin Lauden. It's really awful. As for counter-terrorism, I'm with Kerry. You do it with excellent intel, fierce concentration, working closely with allies, then once you find the rats you exterminate them. Invading and occupying Iraq without a proper coalition was the worst thing Bush could have done in terms of the War On Terror. It made us much the bad guys to much of the third world, made us militarily much weaker and got way too many US soldiers killed and maimed.
