re: #413 Lidane

That’s my take on it. I don’t think there’s a clear line in the sand at all.

Even beyond that, I’d like to think that we got OBL without having to depend on torture to do it. I want us to be better than that. Of course, it’s a moot point now, since Bin Laden is dead. I just don’t feel comfortable saying that torture works because it got us Osama.

It is one of many tools in the toolbox. When we are dealing with people such as Bin Ladin it is stupid to discount a tool just because we think it is ugly or morally wrong. We need to all of the tools, not just one or two.
