I didn't. I was at the Taste of Chicago in July, 2001. I asked the group I was with,"What keeps a plane from flying into Sears Tower?" They said, "That would never happen." I said, "Hijackers might do it." So yes, many doubted that it would happen. Regardless, who should we have waterboarded to prevent it from happening?

Who should the Japanese waterboarded to prevent Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Would you support an Amendment tearing away another piece of the Constitution? I mean, if you support it for foreign terrorists, on principle, you would allow it to be done on our citizens as well. Correct?

Nice false dichotomy. Some of us remember what America used to stand for. Apparently you don't.
