Subject: RE: BS: So carry on then with the abuse....
To answer a question a while back- "What part of the constitution don't you understand?". I don't understand the part which applies to non USA citizens. I know that most of you would prefer to treat Al Queda the same way we treat Martha Stewart- with designer burkas and Calvin Kline robes.
Last night on O'relly he asked a hypothetical question which his liberal guest could not (or would not) answer. If you were told an Al Queda operative under arrest had information on a nuclear bomb attack on a US city, would you use agressive methods of interrogation. The guest would only comment that it was an unrealistic scenario.
So lets go the real life story that happended a few months ago. A black sergeant put a gun to the head of a prisoner and told the prisoner he would shoot him if he didn't talk. (is that torture?) The prisoner confessed to an ambush and as a result, several american lives were saved. Was the Sargeant a hero or a villian? Most of your say villian. 80% of the american public say hero. He was brought up the US millitary for dismissal, but because of public pressure, the case was dismissed.
Lastly- to answer a point also made much earlier. Someone said that not every country is evil and makes military advances on other countries. That is true- I have never heard of Bora Bora attacking anyone- but I could be wrong. On the other hand, there is only one country that protects the rest of the world when evil leaders attack other countes.
