The lady was right on this: torture is wrong.  America should take the high ground and not condone such abuse of individual rights.

you cannot have values such as liberty, justice or any other so called "american values" if you protect them by opposite values. You're not even true to your own values and you want to sell them to the word... hypocrites ...

@DixieDan3 You are so right! If you were captured by a terrorist, he would cut your head off but tell you before the sawing that you should rest at ease for they all had a board meeting and decided that america's noble lead convinced them to not be inhumane and pour water on your face but stuck to their conservative values and chose to cut your head off and post in on the internet for you family to watch at their convenience!!!!! Happy bleeding!!!!

@STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE - One video does not sum-total all the loud-mouth abuse from O'Reilly over the years - There are videos of him telling his guests to "SHUT UP" and cutting their mics dozens of times. As for "waterboarding Bin Laden" - He's already admitted to 9-11. Bush had 8 years to get him but didn't - so much for Republican stopping terrorists. Besides, the BEST reason NOT to water board is we don't want to give the greenlight to the rest of the world to do it to our own troops.

morally she is right. But, in the real world of war, she is wrong. Based upon what she is saying, Fdr, truman, ike, kennedy, lbj, nixon, ford, carter, reagan, bush, clinton, bush, and obama have committed war crimes and killed or torture innocents in some form.

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

wait, six minute interview and she never answered the question of what she defines as torture. Did she never answered that question????

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

so much for oreilly being harsh and unfair in his interviews. he was very patient and allowed her to put in her share of debate and did a good job!!

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

I am a person of faith. How can she support killing in war but then fairness in the geneva convention? It seems to me that she would say not killing is right no matter what or how a war is waged? Is that not right?

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

@Gold777Silver I support your sincere beliefs of doing right and not being harsh and rather being completely just and fair with an evil enemy but this is war and I play to win. If you do not play to win in war which is the worst of all scenerios, then you, not specifically you, but one is a fool to think otherwise. We tried japanese and germans in their coutnries and sentenced them to die. We did not bring them to new york or pearl harbor. Why I wonder? hmmmmmmmm

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

@Gold777Silver lastly, I know you care what the world thinks and what terrorist think and we may upset them if we wateboard them. But, if osama is captured tomorrow, I will not support miranda rights and would rather waterboard him. Yes, it is harsh but the world is harsh. I am more worried about winning rather than take some idealistic lead thinking the world will respond where actually we still use other countries for real torture under the obama administration. Did you know that?

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

@Gold777Silver they also might provide correct intelligence. second, our enemies will cut our heads off whether or not we waterboard or not. Do you think a terrorist will not cut the head off an american and really consider that we do not waterboard? How naive is that thinking? third, there is no such thing as international law. It is theory. Ever sued a foreign country in an international court? It is far left theory and not reality. The only law that matters is our law!!Sorry, but Usa first!!!

You know what's even more stupid? Casting blame away from the person who actually committed the action. America has done nothing that compares the the beheadings, electricutions and drillings AQ has performed on their prisoners. To claim they're equal is insanity.
