So because Vietnam has tortured Americans, it's OK to torture someone else? I don't see how anyone can even attempt to justify torture.   See 20 other replies

You are a fool to think we don't torture people on the daily, seriously. I'm an analyst at the CIA(not a frickin spy, or James Bond, the jokes get annoying, all i do is translate crap all day) and I hear plenty of twisted "rumours" about that kind of crap. There are a lot of people who work outside of the law thinking the ycan do w/e the heck they want and get away with it, and they do.   See 20 other replies

It's posts like these that make me sad for the US's future. And people wonder why America is no longer respected and dropping in so many areas where we once held the top spot. Unfortunately, people are getting dumber and dumber and current politicians only try to capitalize on that fact.   See 20 other replies

Now that many of these " INNOCENT BYSTANDERS " have been released , has anyone heard of where they went ? THAT'S RIGHT ...... RIGHT BACK TO THE TERRORISTS CAMPS WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE !! BUT, this time before taking them prisoner again we're just gonna shoot their dumb a** dead..... that we won't run the chance of violating their civil rights by imprisoning them !! HaHaHa . I like this idea better...no dirtying up the enviroment with miles of chain link fence..... just plug their dirty a**s with a bullet and let the corksuckers lay where they fall !!!   See 20 other replies

I'm not exactly sure on the happenings of Gitmo but I know things are Abu Ghraib were pretty bad and most of the people there were imprisoned along with their entire families based on false information given to the US military by their neighbors (Salem witchhunt type deal). If you ever get to watch the documentary "The Ghosts of Abu Ghraib" it's an eye opening film. I knew there was mistreatment of prisoners there but I didn't know how bad it actually was until I saw that. Disregarding that most of these people were nothing close to terrorists even if they were that doesn't mean we should torture them. 1) torture is not proven to yeild reliable information (why would it? I know I for one would tell them whatever they want to hear to get out of it whether it's true or not) and 2) you can't claim to be better than the terrorists when you go around torturing people (especially if there is no conclusive evidence that they've even done anything). When you start to think it is ok to violate basic human rights like this (I'm not talking constitution here I'm talking basic morals that we shouldn't need people to explain to us) then you start to become no better than the terrorists. First torture, how soon before we start bombing civilian targets as an attack on morale? That's basically what the terrorists are doing. It's easy to point fingers at other groups/nations but it's harder to look at one's self. This isn't the first time this country has done things we'd probably rather forget, so remember that we're not exactly saints ourselves.   See 20 other replies
