What is immoral is letting american civilians die in a terrorist attacks because liberals are too squeamish to let arch terrorists die.
They would much rather Americans die painful deaths from a major terrorist attack.
You truely think that any country with a sane leadership is not going to waterboard an arch terrorist if it means stopping a terrorist attacks that could cost the lives of thousands of it's citizens' lives?
Let's say the US didn't waterboard the three arch terrorists and they succeeded in their terrorist attacks.
How many of American's would have suffered an agonizing death because of a dirty (radioactive) bomb going off in Washington DC?
If another 911 attack occurred in LA how many American's would have been tortured by fire and dying a horrible death?
Yet, you seem to think it's okay for the terrorists to be able to taunt interrogators, and for them to not be put in unpleasant situations to make them talk.
The moral high ground has been surrendered by the Obama and his minions who put arch terrorists before American civilian lives.
We can no longer take our case to the world court of opinion that our soldiers and citizens are being tortured by some other nation
The response will be.......It was OK when you did it
You think Al Qaida gives a shit about the court of public opinion
Also by definition torture is inflicting severe pain.
Waterbarding simulates drowning. It's very scary but it doesn't inflict pain.
In fact, CIA operatives are waterboarded in their own training.
If there is a planned terrorist attack that is going to take out American civilians the moral highground is making terrorists talk and stopping the attack.
You have just endorsed the torture of American citizens
