Effectiveness is a distraction.Torture is illegal whether it is effective or not.

Shooting pedestrians is an effective way to prevent jaywalking, but that does not make it legal.

[MyImago]

Bush & Cheney should be indited for war crimes.

Torture used is illegal.  But world governments will resist as they work for major corporate owners.

The honesty & transparency of releasing the Torture Photos will help protect Americans and Troops. Only as long as justice is eagerly sought as well, & The War Criminals are TRIED in view of the world community.

Publicizing the photos WITHOUT seking justice, will NOT create %1. more grudges by the Victim Nations than already exists

But publicizing the photos WILL create a %1000. increase in grudges by the AMERICAN PEOPLE who will be ASHAMED ASHAMED ASHAMED ASHAMED ASHAMED ASHAMED

If the QUESTION is, "Was this torture illegal?", the QUESTION should remain, "Was this torture illegal?" (-not, "Was it EFFECTIVE?")

I would hope that the US stays far from the views of a madman who was the leader of another country, many years ago.

Believe if we could go back in time and ask the victims of 911 if they would preferr waterboarding to burning alive or crashing to the ground from 100's of stories up I think I know what their answer would be.

If a 'tickle machine' were available, I'm sure too that LIE/BERALS would find it harsh also. You must draw a line or even a question can be considered torture by some.

DRs and lawyers on hand for a liitle over a minute of waterboarding. It works.

[MyImago]

Is Cheney a born again truth teller ! LOL

I don't think so !

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.

—John F. Kennedy

[DMitchVA]

If there's "no proof" then there should be "no problem" in releasing the memos as Cheney requested...right?

[brownnoice]

No, not give up. But first get a better understanding of how the world works. The population who live in slums and are oppressed is growing at an increased rate. It is only a mater of time until there is a class war. But all we can do is slow it down and lower the amount of bloodshed in the end. You cant have your big mac and eat it too.

[captcrais101]

So basically give up. I will not settle for that. The american people should fight for the constitution and not let corporatized government oppress them whether republicn is in charge or a democrat.

[brownnoice]

What is it with you and the Twin Towers...

[brownnoice]

Nice dream, but it is impossible. Every government oppresses, they just present it differently. Democracy is nothing but a dictatorship where the people think they have power. Thank Bismark's "real politic" for that.
