Subject: RE: On War and Liberties
I heard Charles Krauthamer (sp?) say, in reference to the constitutional implications of the use of torture to get information from suspects in the terrorism investigation, that he felt that under the circumstances we face today, such an infringement on someone's constitutional rights would be ok.

What I would like to say to Mr. Krauthamer is that the memory of every single person who died protecting the United States constitution would be instantly defiled the moment our government did such a thing.
