We KILL terrorists all the time, yet "torturing" them is totally immoral. How can you justify killing someone but not "torturing" them?
Because we kill them on a battlefield during a war where they are trying to kill us. If they surrender, we DON'T kill them.
But I guess you're right. Let's play God, ignore the treaties we've signed, treat anyone we don't like as expendable, go against traditions about how we've deal with prisoners of war that we've held since George Washington, and then wonder why we the rest of the world hates us and wants to kill us.
After all, doing all this under the Bush administration sure did stop all those terrorists, right?
