There can be two America's
The America of Fuck You- The one that does torture, and does not respect international laws
The America of Fuck Yeah- No torture, respects international laws and is respected around the world.
On the "The ends do not justify means" responses
Depends what ends and what means.
Say the end is stopping 9/11 from ever occurring. The means are killing a mans family in front of him, waterboarding, or torture in general, and breaking international laws.
Is that like "two wrongs don't make a right"?
When it comes to saving lives, the ends do in-fact justify the means.
Of course they do. However, who says that torture is really necessary to achieve the end though? There is always a way to avoid torture, it just isn't the easy way. The easy way out is usually the fast way down.
A few points.
1) Int'l wasn't broken
2) Waterboarding was used only on 3 arch terrorists.
3) The reason it was used was because all other measures failed and to stop terrorist attacks
4) Two major terrorist attacks were thwarted
a. The plane into the Los Angeles building
b. A "dirty bomb" exploding in Washington D.C.
5) The CIA acted properly every step of the way
6) For the CIA
