re: #269 McSpiff

Would you agree ‘random MP smashing detainee’s head against the wall’ is different than an established program of water boarding, stress positions, etc endorsed by the highest levels of the US government?

Of course it’s different… but no amount of established law is going to hold up if at some point, in some situation, in some emergency, those same members of the establishment decide to forgo the law and make an exception.
