re: #309 Walter L. Newton

Ok… maybe I shouldn’t be mixing thoughts like I am. I’ll make it simple…

It should be illegal… any form of torture. It’s immoral and wrong. There should be laws on the books, and no government offical should ever suggest that torture is acceptable.

No law on the books is going to stop our government from using it if they deem that the situation is dangerous enough and thousands of life could be saved from an impending terrorist operation.

Conscience, clear, and you won’t hear any argument about it from me. I think this type of status quo also avoids the ‘slippery slope’ issue. If torture is going to happen, I want people to risk their career on it.
