re: #566 Bagua

That’s right, and fighting a conventional war against a nation state is very different than fighting against these random grouping of terrorists whose only goal seems to be to kill as many civilians as they can in order to terrorize those they hate. That we struggle with our conscience is one of the things that separates us from the terrorists.

No, acting on what our conscience tells us separates us from them. I don’t really care if the maladjusts at Abu Ghraib “felt something” before they did what they did; the outcome was the same.
