Actually there are 30,000 people in Iraq being held without trial and an unknown number of them are being tortured.

@utterlyplanetarium Jack Bauer IS awesome. It's just that he's as much a fiction as the Ninja Turtles and shouldn't be taken seriously.

A real eye-opener. Thank you.

I think history will tell that the Bush administration attempted to be extremely careful in trying to not get freakin caught.

Torture never saves "countless lives". If the CIA doesn't know about a plot against the US several months in advance, then no amount of torture would get information to stop anything.

Again, you people see the world in black and white. There is a place for torture, but that doesn't mean it should be used liberally.
If torture can save hundreds of thousands of lives, for example, in the case of a nuclear device being placed in a highly populated area, I support torture if there's a high chance they got a suspect who's very likely to be guilty.
In regular criminal cases, I don't support it.
If you oppose torture to save countless lives, you're both ignorant and downright evil

NickJones55 Good for you. You are travelling in notorious company with the likes of Bush and cronies, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and other terrorists. These are the people who agree with you and sanction torture.

"...Cheney admitted on a TV news broadcast that he supports waterboarding."
I support waterboarding Cheney & company.

It's not saying they are. And it's not saying the US government doesn't utilise torture. It's saying they shouldn't, and there's no law or reason to support such acts.
Which I for one am quite pleased about, whatever Howard "Jack Bauer is awesome" Gordon might witter on about.

As I understand it, the Bush administration approved the use of waterboarding exactly three times, only against known high-ranking Al Qaeda operatives.
The abuse at Abu Ghraib was not officially sanctioned and those responsible have been punished.
I think in historical context it will be seen that the Bush administration attempted to be extremely careful in its use of "enhanced interrogation techniques".
The policy was a mistake however and I am saddened that some conservatives defend it.
