Dear Republicans:

-We don't buy into your fear anymore.

-Thats one reason you lost so many seats in November.

-You're NOT in power anymore.

-I feel safer now than I did when you were in charge.

-Shut the fuck up.

"Believe me," says a former CIA director.

No.

Apparently ImperiusRex gets to define the parameters of this discussion. The Nazi reference was chosen purposefully to cut through bull---- such as "sadly, its not as simple as upholding the rule of law." Yes it is. Its that simple. Beware the voice, when confronted with moral certainty, that insists on complexity.

No comets haved struck earth since the invention of the telescope. Telescopes have worked.

Everyones got an asshole.

Who has been charged with "saving people,s lives"?

Define terrorist

take meds-restores "real power"

"As a signatory of the Geneva Conventions, the US is only bound to respect the rights of captured prisoners of war who had followed specific wartime protocols."

Like I said before, I'm almost 100% certain that that's a misconception. If you have proof to the contrary, I'd love to see it.

"it assumes a law analogous to "robbery in the US" existed"

I'm confused. Is bank robbery not illegal in the US. And is torture not illegal internationally?

A terrible move by Obama, if we had to release the waterboarding info, that's one thing, detailing other very pc methods like cold temperatures, stress positions, etc so Alqaeda knows exactly what to expect when they're caught and can laugh in our faces, is complete stupidity. Big victory for the ACLU scum, dedicated since their creation to the destruction of the country. Why did we spell out for Alqaeda all the non-waterboarding interrogation methods too? Liberals still weak on natl defense

No attack since 9/11, waterboarding DOES work and there's nothing you assholes can do about it, there will be no proesecution for saving people's lives, if you want to defend terrorists' rights to plot attacks in secrecy continue to do so but you have no real power so you will never win.

Plagiarism!

Why would you copy and paste someone else's comment verbatim and pass it off as your own Mr.Man428? Weak.

The OUTER limits shouldn't be something that everyone doesn't know. We are supposed to be above the low lifes that do torture. People should know our OUTER limits is no Torture.

[micahgee]

GOP is pathetic.

[micahgee]

Dems are LIARS, Dems are LIARS!

Torture is still going on. War is still going on, soldiers and civilians are still dying.

[PragaSong]

The reason why the U.S. was never attacked again was because our enemies believed in Hope and Change through Obama.
