Thread Name: BS: US torture
Subject: RE: BS: US torture
The Taleban was not democratically elected, those in Afghanistan have spoken of their resentment of Taleban members from surrounding countries coming to Afghanistan to enforce the Talebans rules based on the various Islamic Laws. Who elected them to control the country in such a way?

We can look at the situation like this, the governments of countries that allow terrorists to get away with what they want to do, are torturing it's own people, simply because the do not intervene.

What I'm saying is simple I have no qualms in torturing terrorists,and no it does not have any ramifications for me as no one has came up with an alternative. How would you combat Bin Laden? Are you happy to live under his rule and a regime like the Talebans? Again if not what would you do? stoop to their level to stop them.

I can do as you do and be ultra liberal but that does not defend the weak or stop the terrorists of this world, of all the injustices one group or another feels that a country has done to them, it does not justify the death of one innocent person. If torturing a terrorist which combats such actions I for one would loose no sleep, and that does not make a bad person. What does though is sitting back wringing my hands and saying well you know.... and doing nothing.
