re: #656 austin_blue

First off, great post. You framed the situation nicely. Here’s where we disagree. The terrorists are not forcing us to do anything. They are captured prisoners. They are totally in our power. We are *choosing* our actions. That’s the crux of it. Is it acceptable to torture people because we feel they are acting barbarically?

I don’t know, I think if one chooses to commit terrorist actions, one assumes the risks. In actuality, torture at the hands of one’s terrorist allies is a possibility.
