..and the USA managed to survive many wars and conflicts for over 200 years without needing legalized torture.
But then in those many wars, we never had to deal with fanatical terrorists who crash commercial airlines into skyscrapers and the Pentagon. These bastards do not represent any sovereign nation or fly any nation's flag. They are not covered by the Geneva Conventions. I would be repulsed by any American use of torture in a conventional war between nations. I don't give a @#$% about terrorists. If it will save a few thousand American lives...perhaps prevent another 9/11/01 type terrorist attack, then have at it....whatever it takes to get the info.
