Torture, or whatever you want to call it, "justified" by majority

Torture, or whatever you want to call it, "justified" by majority of Americans.

New poll finds majority of Americans believe torture justified after 9 11 attacks - The Washington Post

By an almost 2-1 margin, or 59-to-31 percent, those interviewed support the CIA’s brutal methods, with the vast majority of supporters saying they produced valuable intelligence.

Did we cut anyones head off?
If not we have been doing it for 200 plus years

Just one more indicator of the decline of our civilization.

Just goes to show how fragile our rights and liberties are that fear, not rationality, would allow us to justify torture. Saying they "believed" it produced "valuable intelligence" is not the same as actually producing "valuable intelligence".

Never trust your rights to public opinion because some day you might be on the wrong side of it.

Is that the line that can not be crossed then? I mean, everything else is ok but don't - god forbid - decapitate someone?

Weird.

Interesting in how you link non lethal interrogation with the decline of our civilization. My assumption is that you view the acts of terrorists justified and furthermore that the perpetrators should be treated with respect and dignity? What is your view as to how those involved should be treated?

Navy Seals do water boarding after a few beers
Heck I bet you some college fraternities did worse in hazing

Methinks you assume much.

That's because you're an idiot. The humane treatment of prisoners is about the captors, not the prisoners.

This post shows me your amazing grasp of platitudes and the obvious.

^^This means nothing

Funny now the newest trend is to pretend to not know what on earth torture means? I mean by golly what is torture? And is it torture torture or just yanno...torture?

Justifying actions based on fear. Thats your platform. Congrats

Justification for torture:

It is not torture when WE do it
They deserve to be tortured
I am only doing it to save lives

Same excuses have been working for centuries

I am quite sure that rings of righteousness to your ears, but often the most important actions we take are borne of fear. Think about it next time you cross a street or run into a gentile giant like Mike Brown.

What a stupid and meaningless statement.

It means nothing?

Dont play that game with me, dude it is the same thing as the left condoning abortion , drone strikes and out right assassinations
But yet shed tears over Childs play water boarding

You do know when they are dead they are dead right?

Add to that abortion on demand, legalized drugs, condoms for children, drone strikes that kill 15 civilians for every combatant, etc., etc., etc.
