re: #386 iceweasel

Well, that’s one area where we’re not going to agree…That is, I completely agree with you that they’re scum, but I feel like the US has to be held to a higher standard—the highest ones possible— because we’re better than they are. The US should hold itself to those standards, because it only proves how much better we are, that we don’t stoop to their levels.

Also, setting aside the morality issues, there are practical considerations. From what I’ve read I’ve concluded that torture doesn’t work. And it also has the effect of endangering our troops further.

No, we won’t agree. The idea that someone like Ramiz Binalshebi can be considered a victim for something done to him sticks in my craw sideways. That said, I’ll drop the issue. We both know where the other stands, and I value your input too much to get into arguments with you.
