@estermoffat Perhaps a land of the free can only be one that abides by the rule of law (including international law and protocols of armed engagement) .... and sets that example.

[estermoffat]

@marcusyizong We are the land of the free for a reason: we don't roll over and tolerate that shit and rely on foreign countries to fight our battles for us. How does your country respond?

When the torture controversy first broke out a poll by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life revealed that the more often Americans go to a Christian church, the more likely they are to support the torture of others. It's therefore no surprise to learn that Burton is a proud "born-again christian" who supports torture and doesn't give a fuck about non-christian rights.

[Boomer1949]

I'm sorry to hear that the S.E.A.L.'s acting in this way. Not an honorable way to handle a prisoner, no matter what the crime. Brutality seems to be creeping into our very fabric and if not checked, will eventually lead to our downfall as a people.

[marcusyizong]

I wonder how Americans would react if foreign troops began busting down their doors..

whats the point in beating the shit out of them once we got them, point is that we got them, try/convict/execute do we really need to see the torture photos to know to do the lawful thing. sorry cowboy Burton. I prefer justice over torture or even prefer killing over torture. because 2 are legal one isn't. its a matter of proof/evidence don't be killing the wrong guy, if its a fact shoot them in the fucking head

[exacerbatedtaboo]

I could say so much.

I'm a warrior, not a talker.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

yes isn't it great how he suggested we ought to lower ourselves to Al Qaeda's level? Isn't it great how he endorses torture like he does? I'm so thankful we have people like him in office that is so obviously thirsty for blood. We're supposed to be a better nation and a better people then Al Qaeda. We're supposed to abide by the genva conventions unlike Al Qaeda. We're supposed to adhere to international law and not commit human rights violations unlike Al Qaeda.

aww did i hurt your sockpuppet account's feelings?
