re: #521 SanFranciscoZionist

So waterboarding is torture, but only when applied to uniformed combatants or done by bad people? And saying otherwise is “anti-American”?

Context and application are key. Removal of a kidney with a scalpel is torture and criminal when done by a murderer, and life saving surgery when done by a surgeon.

Illegal combatants who destroy buildings do not have the same rights as civilians under occupation or military forces during war time.
