It's an opinionated thread. So I ask opinionated questions on under what scenario's you would do so in order to save lives......................LOLRiddle me this................a terrorist is caught in New York city.................You know he has information to a dirty bomb or nuke................that will kill everyone in the city...................millions to die...................You speak as though you are a radical extremist. America does not torture.
Will you torture his ass to save the city or quote BS rules of engagement and let millions die...........................
Information by these tactics got some information on our enemies including OBL.................it helped take them down and saved lives with the information...............
That terrorist who knows about New York..............I'd torture his ass off to stop it.
Would you...........................
No. Torture doesn't work. Resorting to it because you are afraid is unAmerican. Believing the lie that torture led to OBL or saving lives is the way that you excuse your fears.
Are the people torturing by Water boarding afraid that the guy will accidentally take a leak on them.......................................
Save it........................for someone who agrees with you..............
Pop quiz asshole................will you torture the guy to save New York City................or not answer that scenario.
This is a completely absurd, fictional scenario. I am more interested in defining standards. At what point should it be acceptable to use torture? Who defines these standards? What should be the consequences if we, as a country, do not live up to these standards? What types of torture are ethical, and which are not? How do you deliniate between what is and is not ethical? How transparent should our government be surrounding these practices? Is it acceptable that they lie to the American people? Should was assume that our government is operative with the best of interests?
But to some...................that puts a road bump on their moral RIGHTEOUSNESS in these types of threads............
Most will not answer because they no damn good and well that if push came to shove they do exactly what I've said here.
They just don't want to grow a set and say it openly.
You answered literally none of my questions. You have shown yourself to be nothing more than a reactionary individual. What about rules, standards, and expectations. Should we assume that our government is always acting within our best interest, even when lying to us?
