Not to mention the Extraordinary Renditions process.

To bad that does not qualify as torture or you might actually have a point.

But of course we could talk about the treatment of the Irish by the British if you want to look at a country in the western world who set the standards in modern times for the treatment and torture of prisoners.

But we are not talking about the British - are we. We are talking about Americans who love, endorse, and advocate torture. TheMercenary loves torture? Or does TheMercenary oppose torture by Americans? Based upon a political agenda that supersedes ethics, my bet is that TheMercenary loves Americans doing torture. It is synonymous with those who love and support Cheney - who also publically advocated torture. So which is it, TheMercenary? Do you love torture or do you oppose torture? ... not that I believe he has the balls to answer without being elusive.

I love for us to do whatever it takes to win. We don't torture. Although we do have some people who went over the line in the forms of abuse of detained persons, and many of them were punished. Some were not punished. Now tw, define torture. List all of the things you think are torture that you know the US has used on detained persons in an effort to extract information. I bet you don't have the balls to do it. Do you?
