Dude, in this entire thread there are several leftists doing their best to characterize Christianity in general, and evangelicals in particular, as bloodly-minded ghouls who would be glad to torture infidels to bloody rags until they convert, confess, or whatever.
I think some one has us confused with Islamic extremists. I've heard people making that very comparison often enough to be tired of it. Militant atheists act like we want to institute theocracy and burn heretics at the stake if we dare suggest that maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't hurt anyone to allow a voluntary bible study class in public schools?
I'm tired of having to point out that there's a huge difference between Christian "fundamentalists", whose worst "offenses" are they oppose gay marriage and abortion; and Islamic fundamentalists, who spawn dozens of suicide bombers and worse every year.
So the US waterboarded some known terrorists. We also waterboard our own soldiers in SERE training. This is not the same "torture" as that word typically evokes, images of saws and blades, knives and severed body parts.
