"Speed limit laws are for public safety. So are torture laws. " Apparently, you find it necessary to ignore some of the train of logic I provided you and selectively argue some point that does not apply to me. That's called building strawman to argue against. Feel free but you should just post to your self or combjelly if that is your goal. You ignored this..." am absolutely against torture period, and have stated that repeatedly, Either you ignored that statement or you presumed it was not genuine. However it is, I have no problem with torture laws I would go further than most of them do if I were writing the definitions. "If we don't respect the rule of law then you expect lesser countries to respect it? I do respect the rule of law and that has been my only position wrt the claim that Bush lied and that Bush authorized torture. According to the laws as they were interpreted and the authorizing approvals at the time, he did neither. Would it be OK for you to burgler a house because someone else did it to yours?" What a silly and inapplicable question. It has nothing to do with anything I have said. However, burglary is morally wrong, there are laws against it, injustice done to me does not justify my injustice to another.
