Seems our winger contingent has had a change of heart over the last couple of weeks. They went from “ we don’t torture “ to justifying torture. Wonder why that is?
Lets talk about torture in a war that most of you don’t remember, except from textbooks. In Viet Nam there was plenty of information, freely given, by the populace prior to “My lai”, After My Lai you could screw their nuts into the ground and get the same bogus info you got before you started.
My point is that when the population that you are trying to “bring Democracy too” don’t trust you,( Abu Ghraib/gitmo)anything that is given under duress is suspect.
