I've blocked all this together because it's somewhat repetative to what I just responded to above.
Condensed: Torture is wrong & waterboarding is torture. Don't care who said it was OK but do know the Bush administration as in his reasons going into Iraq used deception to convince people on many things he just wanted to do.
I agree Bush made us much less popular around the world. In fact I was reminded of that repeatedly just a couple weeks ago in Jamaica by the British, French, Canadian and even one German tourists.
If it wasn't for the "anonymity" thing I love to give you my Facebook page so you could see the responses from all over the world sent to me on George Bush.
And I see both as just as equally bad. The goal here for me is not to find a loophole to torture anyone. Interrogate without torture... try... confict... if guilty punish harshly. That's how I roll...
The "chauffeur" was an analogy. In your sense of right & wrong he'd be eligible for torture. That could not be more clear... that's the problem.
I do not agree. And I feel for the soldiers parents because their sons were sent somewhere into harms way on a series of Bush initial lies. I respect the great sacrifice these soldiers make on a daily basis.
I'm simply saying Communism was looked at in the very same way (actually much worse) than radical Islam back in the day. I wasn't a fan of Joe Mcarthy... not a fan of President Bush... and for similar reasons.
That's a personal choice we make as we look at someone in their entirety. We all must make our own evaluations. That's mine... you're entitled to yours.
