First, thank you for a civil response :0)
I think Huck has a lot to learn. He thinks that closing Gitmo would help our image in the world. It wouldn't in my opinion. Gitmo is just an excuse to hate us. I also would personally torture terrorists if given a chance, but the Constitution prohibits it. That's why the interogation tapes were destroyed in my opinion. It can be argued theoretically that it isn't torture over coffee, but to see it would make it clear that it is.
Do you want to know what I would do as king of the world, or what I believe Huck would do?
Hey, I always try to be civil, don’t always succeed, but I try. One of the reasons I try is because I think we’re all Americans here (for the most part) and we care about this country and the world. We may have differing views re policy and personalities, but that’s ok. Imho, mutual respect is the only way we can accomplish anything.
I was interested in your ideas/solutions. I understand your concerns re the Constitution and torture. Trust me, I “get it”. We’re walking a dangerous tightrope. That being said, let me share something with you. I’ve talked to people, people who should know what they’re talking about, (at least a wee bit, don’t get alarmed) who say it’s not just a matter of if a dirty bomb goes off in an American city, but when.
A POTUS’ first obligation is to protect the American people.
