Hey PJ, if it was your families life on the line would you be willing to water-board someone or would you say fuck-it kill my family. It is that simple, you liberals are such hypocrites.
No - I just give a shit about our troops. I dont think its ok to justify torture of our captured soldiers on the basis that we do it to our prisoners. That was the whole point of the Geneva convention. I also believe we should hold ourselves to a higher standard than 3rd world scumbags like Vladimir Putin and Hosni Mubarak. But its a free country, Mikey. You can hold yourself to whatever scumbag standard you like.
I dont have much respect for chicken-hawk cowards who talk a tough game on the treatment of our prisoners while imposing the consequences of that policy on our soldiers.
Really? You have a rather "unique" way of showing it.
Do you know what is actually in the Geneva Conventions? It is quite apparent that you don't.
While it is true the Conventions tell us what the rules of warfare are, it also describes who is bound by them and how they must appear to separate themselves from the civilian populace. Our friends in the middle east have been whacking off the heads of captives, which is a big no no according to the conventions and yet you all are silent about it. You are also quiet when "soldiers" are dressed up in womens clothing or use a hospital or school as an ammo dump. However you get all out of shape when a school building gets blown to hell and a few kids get killed by our bombs.
The CIA was given permission by Congress to use Enhanced Interrogation Techniques and last I recall, quite a few Democratic leaders voted FOR the CIA to use them.
This was a purely political report as the Democrats have NO use for a spy agency. They have proven that yet again. (Carter, Clinton, and Obama) Please remember September 11th and exactly who failed to garner the intelligence that could have averted it.
Btw, tell those families who's loved ones lost their heads due to the "humane" treatment by the terrorists that their country would not do everything to get their loved ones home safe..
