Now, if a liberal wants to use the “cruel and unusual punishment,” clause, as a case against ‘torture’, then that applies only to US citizens, not enemies in foreign lands..............

A liberal who wants to argue against torture could just point to the U.N. Convention Against Torture. The issue is not whether torture is illegal--it clearly is not--but rather whether the acts described in this report are torture.

They will not argue the legality of torture, or whether it is in fact torture or not. They will instead argue whether it is ‘moral’ or ‘immoral’, thus taking the self-righteous high ground for themselves, under their private definition of ‘morality’. To them it does not matter about legality, only what they perceive as being their moral duty to stop it, regardless of its effectiveness, which they claim is ineffective and unnecessary.
The mind of a liberal is so naive as to be dangerous to themselves and others. These terrorists would kill them and their families without a seconds hesitation, and the liberals would try to ‘understand’ them while doing so....................
