Stop torturing our troops and families of foreign countries and bring home our troops Obama warmonger lair,cheat and thief .

[MrAlland88]

i can see were every one is coming from and i understand. In saying that let me say this, Torture never worked in the past or present and it will not work in the future. The FBI proved that. Torture ruins the soul of the tortuere and wrecks the nation doing it.

"When the lives of innocent ppl are at stake torture is necessary."

This nation is based on laws.

If the president or any person who works in a government position can be above the law, then they are not our employees anymore, they are something else...

You can try and advocate torture to make it legal, though.

Don't count me in.

What a pussy. Americans have grown too soft. When the lives of innocent ppl are at stake torture is necessary. These terrorists being tortured hate America and they want to see our beautiful country burn in hell. Wake up you sheep

As a Baptist pastor it is great to see a Presidential candidate with strong morals!! It is so refreshing to hear Obama share his vision and his ethical standards!

[creativecindy]

Here's a novel idea...let's get rid of any Congress man or woman, including the President, VP and all the bad apples and FIRE THEM for breaking the laws they swore to uphold! This is not being soft of terrorism; this is standing up for America's values. Who do these jackals think they are, that they can defy the laws of our land with impugnity? Why aren't more of us outraged and doing something about this band of thieves who have seized control of our land (with the Supreme Court's help)?

Excellent - This should be the way America works. I was shocked by info about what really goes on, especially at Gitmo.
