(1.) You need to understand right vs wrong and that what's wrong should NEVER be justified as right or you are simply evil. Remember, Satan thinks he's in the right. (2.) In case you've forgotten, torture is evil. Water-boarding, for example, was used in Vietnam to extract false confessions since that's all it's good for. It was first used in the 21st century, architected by Dick Cheney, to extract false confession in an effort to link Al Quaeda to Iraq. (3.) If America doesn't stand for what's right, who will? If all America now is, is evil that claims it isn't, then America has been murdered by its own citizens. That having been said, proper interrogation has been known for eons. You might want to consider the teachings of Hans Scharff, the lead Nazi interrogator: "Scharff was opposed to physically abusing prisoners with the intent to obtain information. Taught on the job, Scharff instead relied upon the Luftwaffe's approved list of techniques which mostly involved making the interrogator seem as if he is his prisoner's greatest advocate while in captivity." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanns_Scharff#Technique or maybe the guy who actually GOT useful information from terrorists, Ali Soufan: "Most notably, his testimony revealed that his interrogation of Abu Zubaydah had resulted in actionable Intelligence; and that thereafter, when torture techniques were implemented (waterboarding), the flow of Intel stopped. Soufan's statement is contrary to the ones made in the "torture memos," that were intent on making a legal case in favor of and justification for the use of these techniques." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Soufan#Guantanamo_interrogations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
