Perhaps we need to sit down and have a nice cup of
tea with these suspects. As history has taught us,
they truly play by the rules and are truly civilized.
They have the greatest respect for life and the rule
of law. They would never think about beheading men
for entertainment purposes and sending the footage
into cyberspace for all to see. They would never
consider using innocent women and children as shields
or a means to hide from their enemies. They would
never consider convincing less than intelligent
individuals to blow themselves up in the name of God.
It is always the same song and dance with people in
general, protect me from the bad guys but use a
feather boa when you do it.

The terrorists all pretty much play fair, so should we.

If they happened to take me or my family into their lair, I would imagine some pretty interesting things would happen to us and we aren’t even people of consequence.  Their book says to kill and destroy, our book says love and forgive.  We just need to hire people to detain them that read their book and then there wouldn’t be any controversy.

The ACLU thinks that is better for a planeload of
people to die than to threaten a terrorist.

I think I can speak for most Americans when I say “Hey, whatever works”.

So if we know where they are, and the happen to be with the families, it is ok to blow them up using a missile fired from a drone… killing them and their families.  But if we capture them we cannot treat them badly?  Give me a break.  Trials for the interrogators and for the current and past administration for the murder of civilians…  Wield the stick evenly if you are going to let it swing!

Why are we broadcasting to the rest of the world what our CIA does?  I don’t
understand the benefit of this.  Honestly, I don’t want to know what they do to
prisoners of war, cause its never going to be worse than that country would do to
our prisoners of war.  They would interrogate, physically brutally torture, and then
kill when they get what they need.

If there were no checks and balances, no conscience, no value for human rights and no restraints on our intelligence and military agencies, torture and mutilation would be ok in America, just as it is in other backward countries.
Oh wait, we have those constraints, but we did it anyway, and are still doing it, right?
Hypocrisy or rigorous honesty, which will it be? If the latter, bush/cheny and their criminal cohorts must pay for their incredible crimes committed in the name of patriotism. If the former, this will fizzle out, and we won’t know or care what goes on in our own country’s actions.

I bet if you ask McCain how he was treated when he captive he would say worse than that.

For those prisoners who were really thought to have done the terror crimes, they should have been tried in court and if found guilty punished to the full extent of the law.

It has been clear to anyone that holding people captured in their own countries, defending themselves were not the criminals, but were held because Bush/Cheney wished to create the illusion that there were masses of terroists just waiting to destroy us.

Well there are some nasty people out there and they should be restrained, but torture when allowed becomes an easy and reprehensible action to do to anyone for any reason. That is why we have laws against torture. And, as far as nasty people go, who could be more nasty than Bush/Cheney, Rumsfield and all who lied us into an un-necessary war and then squandered our tax money doing it, not out of necessity but thru corruption and greed for their personal supporters? How about the 100,000s of dead Americans and Iraqi’s killed, many women and children all because George Bush thought he had been elected Dictator of America, or was that Cheney?
