You still didn't answer. Here they are again:
1. Should suspects receive Miranda rights?
2. Should suspects receive constitutional rights?
3. What Can we do to get information from suspects?
I'd like to add a fourth:
4. Define Torture.
I don't consider it torture, you do.
I have a definition of Torture, you have a concept of torture that is not clearly defined. PLC, who is arguing with me tooth and nail, is a Pragmatic, Libertarian, Conservative so I'm certainly not singling out liberals or Progressives.
To borrow an analogy:
I think Abortion kills the life of an individual... PLC does not.
I have a definition of individual to back that up, he has a concept of what an individual is that justifies his position.
In both cases, abortion and torture, the divide is between those who are operating on specific definitions and those who operate on conceptions that cannot be satisfactorily defined.
Law is based on definitions. Feelings and emotion are based on concepts.
