Torture: A Matter of Opinion or a Question of Legality?
So let me see if I have this right:
Everyone else turns a blind eye to REAL torture, rape, murder and other horrendous acts committed against civilians (we got mad at Hitler, why not Stalin), and when we use “stress positions” and “sleep deprivation” with a nice mix of waterboarding (on 6 prisoners, not very prolific) in order to extract information to SAVE our own people, that’s a problem?
The individuals and nations that are crying the loudest against our actions are the guilty. I wonder how many liberal journalists, when the blade began sawing at their neck, wished for the salvation of our military and the tactics we use to save millions from a similar fate?
It’s easy to to be a smug Christopher Hitchens when you’re a long way from that blade…
