I would rather hear our President say, "We will do whatever it takes to stop terrorism."
NOT let them know what we will or won't do. We don't need to advertise that we "water board," or do this or that, just let them know that "WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PUT A STOP TO IT." Then, let them worry about it.
Years ago, in Reno, in the casinos, before security cameras, the "eye in the sky" was always there. One way mirrors all over the ceilings. Someone was not always up there ............. but .............. YOU didn't know, so it stopped many from doing any cheating. The threat of being caught was always there.
NOT KNOWING is a great deterrent. Not knowing what they will do if they catch you, is a deterrent. But, if we let them know we don't do this or that, we sit you in a chair and ask questions ...... wow, how bad can it be.

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!
