The current resurrection of the “torcher” (can’t help the spelling) topic is an absurd exercise, dredging up the phony “moral compass” of a President and giving the media more grist for a tired old mill.

When a religion’s Holy Book deems appropriate punishment for thievery as removal of a foot from one side of the body and a hand from the other side of the body and when beheadings of innocent reporters/contractors and any other infidel conveniently at hand are the standard behaviors du jour, I could care less about any discomfort or even pain inflicted on individuals who are in any way associated with that.

KSM has recently said he wants to die as a martyr. I’d guess he doesn’t event want those lawyers around, agitating on his behalf. Maybe he’s even offended by their disgusting legalistic gymnastics.

The self-righteous declarations of “America doesn’t torcher” (again, that awful spelling), make me want to throw up.

I’m ashamed of the idiocy of this country.
