Speed limit laws are for public safety.

So are torture laws. If we don't respect the rule of law then you expect lesser countries to respect it? Would it be OK for you to burgler a house because someone else did it to yours?

Driving isn't a win/lose competition where speed limit laws even the playing field. Driving isn't a fight to defeat or eliminate enemies.

Depends on where you are driving. Ever driven in NYC?

I am absolutely against torture period, and have stated that repeatedly,

Then why do people keep raising the issue with you? Maybe because you wheezle out of your position with this line:

"which is irrelevant wrt the claim that Bush lied or broke the law."

Because, you see, its not irrelevant wrt Bush and his lying.

"However, when there is oppressive tyranny, greedy corrupt brutality, and terrorist conduct in the world, and you oppose those who take a stand against it, I will not support you."

If that's not an admission you will support terrorism, nothing is.....
