.I think the issue here is systematic, institutionalized trampling of legal hurdles. Right. Waterboarding was used THREE times on the three highest value targets. That's "institutionalized trampling"? There has never been "institutionalized trampling" as you claim. This has been a left wing wacko claim that is totally unsubstantiated by the facts.

"I think the issue here is systematic, institutionalized trampling of legal hurdles. " I agree with the above. I just want there to be enough flexibility to take into account the extreme situations. If you look at teds and rats posts on this, you will see a complete lack of concern for inaction in extreme situations. No president can survive in office if he doesnt do everything he can to prevent a massive attack whether its a schoool or a nuke in NYC. Fighting terrorism as it exists today is not like fighting communism or even WW2 where the other side at least in europe followed Geneva as we did. These dudes follow no rules. Great crimes are not exceptions but the norm. Its what they are trying to do to the US every day. So POW rules are not the same nor are the assymetric ways we have to fight their terror attacks. Cant just be marquis of queensbury.
