Haven't seen anything here about one of the most despicable developments - torture. I'm not talking Abu Gharib, which was stupid, but not what I'm talking about - I'm talking waterboarding and such. I find it incredible that there would even be debate that we should condone it! I lost all respect for John McCain when he caved (well, that and when he sucked up to religious whackos).
That we look for loopholes in the Geneva conventions, question whether it applies... disgusting. These hypocrites talk of VALUES?
Have you read of the Canadian citizen we believed somehow was a terrorist and sent him to Syria to be tortured? We not only practice torture, we outsource it.
For the record - I spent 16 months in Vietnam in the Marines - yes, I was aware of torture, but I stopped some, and we all knew it wasn't condoned - what will we become if we condone it? What will separate us from barbarians?
