Let us not forget that we did not torture Americans, we did not torture our own citizens, we did not torture patriots, WE TORTURED TERRORISTS, WE TORTURED ENEMY COMBATANTS, WE TORTURED PEOPLE CAPTURED ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE DURING A WAR. WE TORTURED THESE INDIVIDUALS TO GET INFORMATION THAT SAVED AMERICAN LIVES, THAT SAVED LIVES OF OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, CITIZENS OF OTHER COUNTRIES. WE DID NOT BEHEAD THESE PRISONERS. WE DID NOT ENGAGE IN ANY EXTREME PHYSICAL TORTURE TO THEM. WE DID NOT PULL OUT THEIR FINGER NAILS ONE BY ONE. WE DID NOT TORTURE THEM TO DEATH BY THE DEATH OF A THOUSAND CUTS. WE DID NOT BREAK THEIR ARMS AND LEGS. WE DID NOT FORCE THEM TO ENGAGE IN A GAME OF RUSSIAN ROULETTE. The entire idea of what constitutes true torture is very relative and changes from person to person.
Actually Ev, to be very clear, the interrogators DID NOT torture terrorists.
They DID use enhanced interrogation techniques.
Over the years I have looked at torture, executions, beheadings, etc. in graphic detail on the internet. Americans WERE NOT the ones doing these things.
Just wanted to clarify that for people who do not have the attention span to read through your brief post.
