re: #276 Edouard

Notice that Krauthammer does say that those who use such measures do and should “take the responsibility”, just as you are asking for. The real debate should be about how such responsibility is to be taken. For certainly responsibility should not be evaded. We must indeed stand and accept such responsibility and treat it with great seriousness — but we must also acknowledge that, in the balance, we likewise have the responsibility of protecting countless innocent American citizens from sickening, harrowing massacres carried out in secret, that might be prevented if we discover the secret in advance.

I completely agree with you. However, I do not believe an adequate investigation has taken place, nor do I personally believe that, even facing horrible acts, torture becomes acceptable.

I respect the opinion of the majority here that disagrees with mine, but I still feel that it is important that I state my feelings on the matter.
