“Since we have an amendment that prohibits torture, we as a nation need to decide if it has to changed. If so, there is a constitutional process for doing it. It is a very hard thing to say, but a hundred dirty bombs aren’t worth trashing the constitution. Trashing the constituion is the same as defeat.”

Since they aren’t covered by the constitution or the Geneva convention it doesn’t matter much.

Illegal combatants without uniforms captured on the battlefield can be shot or detained forever, our choice.

Want Gitmo closed? Shoot them all.

I don't think that most people support torture. We do, however, have a wide range of ideas of what constitutes torture. Amnesty International would include playing loud music as torture. How do you define torture?

You are the only person I know that believes the constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment doesn't apply to unlawful combatants in US custody. You must have unusual intelligence. Can you share with me why the administration avoids the word torture when descibing waterboarding? I don't want to make the same mistake again

1. Inflicting pain or injury to elicit information or for punishment. 2. Intentionally leading a subject to fear that they or an associate will be killed if thay do not cooperate. Off the top of my head.

They avoid the word torture because it isn’t!

Are you saying they couldn’t be shot?

Huckabee: Guantanamo to the rest of the world is a symbol

Since folks in other countries burn our flag, should we go back to the drawing board for a new one?

A Lib more glib than Huckabee
