| So what more do you want? |
i want to see the entire mindset that contributed to abu ghraib removed. obviously you see no connection with what happened there with similar cases in afghanistan and gitmo... moreover, it seems that you don't see the similarity with the article that i've repeatedly posted.
what the hell is the point of court martialling a couple nobody privates when our government continues to practice torture behind very questionable legal interpretations? torture is torture is torture... this is a very simple point that you don't seem to understand.

so you want to lower our standards down to those of the terrorists? that speaks volumes.
and let's say that you do want to permit the use of torture wherever our "leaders" deem it appropriate... then FIRST you must legally withdraw from the geneva convention because it IS the law. are you advocating that the u.s. president should disobey the laws of our land???
