As a human being I'm appalled that the country that is responsible for the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence now uses torture. I find your comments less than human and actually more like the thinking of Nazi's who justified any kind of cruelty. It's disgusting.

If no one else is better than that I don't care, my family and my country are better than that.

As a US citizen, I fear justification by others that OUR troops can now be tortured and abused, which is why the Geneva convention was signed in the first place.

As a thinking human being I doubt that torture is in any way effective.

As a Libertarian I'm not against my government signing ANY agreements with foreign governments.

That is not what Libertarianism is all about and it shows you are a Johnny come lately to Libertarian thinking and an extremist.
