You're pretty funny, Mr. Rider. You have whipped up a semantic fluff and are trying to use it to browbeat me and make me feel guilty. How did it become my responsibility? Bad people do bad things all the time, are you claiming that it's my responsibility to torture them so that justice will prevail?  And that I am responsible for the deaths and suffering of victims everywhere because I think that torturing people is cruel, stupid, and morally indefensible?


In all of human history there has never been a case like you postulated and yet you are giving me no end of feces because I won't rubberstamp your violent and un-Constitutional use of torture. People who have to resort to those kinds of tactics are pathetic. I'm not interested in your twisted violence or your hideous physical abuses of people you have condemned without due process in direct contravention of the Geneva Convention and the US Constitution, I'm ashamed that people like you have sway over the actions of our government.


The people who wrote and signed the Geneva Convention did so after a war that demonstrated too clearly what torture did to people, it's shameful and pathetic that so few years later people like you are ready--eager even--to go back and make the same ghastly mistakes over again just because you are afraid.
