re: #243 McSpiff

I call’em like I see’em bud. Seems like you’re out of talking points, the attacks have started. You’ll cut yourself off before you get in trouble. Repeat tomorrow.

You know what the bottom line is? Water boarding is torture, and a number of other techniques to try to extract information is torture. And that’s wrong, illegal and it’s immoral.

And in case of an emergency, no amount of kevtching on a blog is going to stop ANY government from using it when they deem it absolutely necessary.

I don’t agree with it, don’t like it, it’s not something I would want to be responsible for enacting… but nothing is going to stop it.
