Since we started to torture, has the number of global terrorists diminished or grown? My guess is it has diminished substantially. But that's neither here nor there. Of course its important. What's the point of torturing someone if you are not reducing terrorism? One could much more sensibly say the success of 9/11 in severely injuring the United States triggered growth in the number of terrorists. The growth in terrorists is because of people like you, Cheney and Bush. Negative attitudes encourage a negative reaction. However, Bush was successful in killing terrorists and making them run for the hills, so there is no evidence either way. Which was the question I asked. Yeah, they've been real quiet over the past 8 years as they recapture Afghanistan and take down Pakistan. You claim to have a brain....why don't you use it?
