No, actually it is cowards like you who never probably served, sitting back watching other people kids fight an illegal war that should not have been waged in the first place. Talking about how we should do this or that to the terrorist and can''t even get your lazy azz off the couch or put down your beer can. Man, I cannot tolerate you "paper tigers"!! - Reply to this comment

I''ll 2nd that. this nation has faced down much more dangerous threats the terrorism without selling out our moral high ground, until Bush and the cowards that support him that is. And make no mistake, it is cowards that torture others. - Reply to this comment

In no way shape or form do I apologize for terrorist. However, we are a country under that is supposed to operate under the rule of law. Some of you idiots who never probably even served in the military do realize that as we detain and torture people (some who were innocent and had no ties to terrorist), other countries who capture our soldiers and citizens will do the same. That is why people like Colin Powell and Gen. Wesley Clark and other distinguished people are against it. Some of you pro-torture idiots seem to have the insight of a retarded monkey. - Reply to this comment

...and my doing so assuring that terror - regardless of it''s origin - wins.
Your simplistic and idiotic means of looking at complex problems isn''t helping things here. We didn''t have to become Nazis to defeat Germany or communists to defeat the USSR. Why should the US have to compromise it''s principles to deal with something that is MUCH less of a threat then what we''ve dealt with in the past? - Reply to this comment

As far as I can tell, our objections to torture have had absolutely no effect on the CIA, the Bush administration or the US military.
So, you whining little child - how about you man up and take some responsibility for what has happened? Instead of trying to people who had no power to stop anything or effect policy in any way? - Reply to this comment
- Bin Laden will be sad to see GW leave office. No other person could have dragged the nation down into the gutter the way the Bush administration has.

- What you can''t fathum tiddsanbeer, is that everything that Kennedy has done in the Senate was for you, while the people you vote for only put on a good show and then vote against your sad self.

bin Laden got a lot more then he ever hoped. The dope of the president we have was led right into the trap he set. Oil has doubled - bring the United States to its knees. - Reply to this comment
- Everyone needs and will be be held responsible for this - including Antonin Scolia who two months ago said there was some wiggle room inside the Constitution for torture. We may not be able to reach Bush but we will be able to reach Cheney, Scolia, all the neo-cons at defense and the agents who actually committed the crimes.

But they said, we''re above the law and no one will have to pay for torturing anyone. Are they right? This is America after all, "and justice for all." - Reply to this comment

So we should act like that too? People are horrified to read that and you want us to match them atrocity for atrocity? We lose the moral high ground the second we act like our enemy.
We are the most powerful country in the word - 300 million people, leaders in technology and we command space. Yet we are so afraid of a bunch of guys waving around AK''s and living in caves, that we have willing to give up our principles? We don''t have to act like them to beat them. - Reply to this comment
- When the dust all settles from this, if we don''t pursue war crimes charges against the highest and the mightiest of our government and the military that allowed all of these atrocities to happen, then we are no better than the other countries that have allowed countless thousands to be tortured and murdered. If we do not pursue charges against the corporate media moguls who allowed these atrocities to go undisclosed for complicity, then we are no better than those countries that allowed it to happen.
I was raised with certain morals and beliefs that I will stand by till the day I die. I was raised to believe that even under duress that American held itself to a higher standard, and it was because of that higher standard that we had been victorious in the face of overwhelming odds. I was raised to believe right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter the circumstance. I was never once taught to believe, "if you can''t bet ''em, join ''em. You that believe that are idiots. - Reply to this comment
