I think torture may be having to put with this lying lazy incompetent fraud in the White House for 2 more years.
But, as to how Americans react to these matters...it pretty much depends on the exigencies of the circumstances. A Democrat President put American Citizens of Japenese descent in jail during WWII without any semblance of due process...and the pinhead liberals & hypocrite politicians didn't think to go all squishy on that until after the great danger ended.
Abe Lincoln suspended the right of habeas corpus during the Civil War....which let him arrest anybody....any American citizen, and not charge him, and keep him in jail for as long as he wanted...just like the Tudor and Stuart Kings used to do.
Exigent circumstances existed then, & they existed on 9/11 after we were savagely attacked by very committed soldiers fighting a new kind of war...which we had to learn how to fight against....to write new rules of combat for a stateless enemy while we did what we could to fend of another such attack. It was o. k. to fear a dirty bomb.
And you could not have found even the worst left-wing loon wandering on the streets of New York City who cared what the hell our CIA did to stop the Lunatic Muslims.
Now, for reasons I don't understand, it is reactionary to fear a dirty bomb; and progressive for our President to negotiate with Mullahs in Iran to see how much longer we will let them lie to us while they finish up work on a nuclear bomb.
We are in a War with people who think and behave like animals. I realize it ain't shiek in New York just now...but I STILL don't care with they do when they catch one, if it will help stop the next attack on the United States.
But, I do wonder how the Pinheads can go soft on waterboarding but they are just fine with droning a terrorist and blowing up all the women and children standing in his general direction.
The answer is that Pinheads are capable of a hypocrisy which normal Americans can not conceive.
Warterboarding a terriost is now bad because Republicans once did it....and blowing up a terrorist along with associated women and children is now good, because Barak Obama, a Democrat....is doing it.
