1. if water-boarding is listed in the 'Geneva Convention' as a form of torture why did we use this against others whom we deemed a terrorist, when they haven't had their due process for proving that they are/were a terrorist.
2. When I saw the '60 Minute' segment about the FBI/CIA {one or the other agency} fellow that was meeting with Saddam Hussein none of those tactics were used and the tactics that were used became very fruitful in the information that Saddam shared willingly.
3. Justification for physical/mental abuse can be said by any/both sides of the conflict...why, why, why would we think that it is 'allowed' when we have a knee jerk reaction to a terrorist attack on our soil. IT IS NOT NOR WILL IT EVER BE APPROPRIATE!!! IMO
4. We should never stoop to the rational thought that "well, they do worse things to our people" as justification for allowing water-boarding to be an OK method of interrogation. NOPE, NOT EVER...IMHO
