To Torture or Not To Torture ...... that is the question

I am opposed to torturing terrorists and political prisoners.

I am opposed to terrorists killing Americans, or anyone for that matter.

Where is the middle of the road?

When I think of torture, I think of Hitler, Koreans, Vietnamese, dungeons and that sort of thing. You can get no information, from a dead person. So what can be done to get someone to disclose information?

After 9/11, terrorists were at the top of the list of most wanted. Was more planned, what are you planning, when, where, how, so many questions.

In torturing, did we find out any valuable information?

There have been no more attacks on our soil. There are, however, attacks going on all over the world. Did we reveal some conspiracies through this "torture."

Something has worked, it seems.

Or, has it just become a political issue?

A lot of smoke for the politicians to blow!
