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

[ClosedCaption]

Just one more indicator of the decline of our civilization.

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

Leave Israel out of this

Only the left would cry about torture yet look the other way when a baby brains getting sucked out by a vacuum cleaner

What weirdos

 

[NYcarbineer]

If there's nothing wrong with torture then we should amend the Constitution to make it legal to use against Americans accused of crimes, or who might be suspected of having useful information.

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.

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.

Yeah, the modern-day liberal really has no wiggle room when it comes to lecturing about morality.

I take it then you wouldn't support torturing anti-abortion terrorists who kill doctors and blow up clinics.

lol

Why would I let you tell me what's moral and what isn't? You certainly wouldn't let me do the same for you.

Yeah, those folks are indeed a widespread threat to humanity and our way of life.

Did you know that 'taliban' means 'students of Islam'?

 

[Wyatt earp]

What are you talking about?
Why would I condone people for blowing up and killing doctors who perform a legal service? They are just like cops, fireman

They are just doing there jobs.
I don't care if a young girl makes a mistake
But what I care about is they big deal liberals are making about something stupid as simple water boarding or torture to our enemys in a time of war, they are not going to die, or hands cut off that would cross the line

 

[nodoginnafight]

Like the majority can justify a crime......

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Its only torture when its done to Americans.

Almost right...it simply means "student" but continue on misstating easily searchable information

I understand Hitler was popular with a majority of Germans.

 

[g5000]

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

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

Weird.

Yes. As long as we can find someone who is worse than us, then we are morally pure. So thank goodness we have ISIL out there chopping off heads. Thank goodness we have the Taliban out there shooting up schools. Now hand me that plank of wood and that bucket of water.

The Most Gruesome Moments in the CIA Torture Report - The Daily Beast

"Interrogations that lasted for days on end. Detainees forced to stand on broken legs, or go 180 hours in a row without sleep. A prison so cold, one suspect essentially froze to death. The Senate Intelligence Committee is finally releasing its review of the CIA’s detention and interrogation programs. And it is brutal."

But what Obama does is outright justice, where is the outrage from the left? I don't get, at least Bush Jr,brought Saddam to trial, Obama outright killed him with no trial
