Well, he didn’t, but you did. At least your honest. Now, for the funny part. Who makes these distinctions and according to what metric? Why not torture ordinary suspects, who may have associates who are planning crimes which will endanger lives? Why not.

You can plug in whatever jingoistic bull you want here–it isn’t what the framers intended, nor was it what all of the veterans who gave their lives for our freedoms fought for. Do you think they really intended for a cadre of individuals to completely subvert our justice system whenever it was expedient?
