“J.S. Bybee, now a federal judge, and John Yoo, now a professor at the University of Califormia Berkeley, serve in the renewed roles of Operation Paperclip Nazi war criminals brought to the United States following World War II. There is little difference between Bybee/Yoo and von Braun/Strughold.”

All people that are for torture, should be tortured, to determine the courage of their convictions, beginning with Cheney.

Ever since January 2009 it has been known that President Obama and his secretary of Justice have self-inflicted neck cramps that is to say pretend to be unable to look backwards. To me this is not news but olds.

“(a) Offense.— Whoever, whether inside or outside the United States, commits a war crime, in any of the circumstances described in subsection (b), shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for life or any term of years, or both, and if death results to the victim, shall also be subject to the penalty of death.”

“(A) Torture.— The act of a person who commits, or conspires or attempts to commit, an act specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control for the purpose of obtaining information or a confession, punishment, intimidation, coercion, or any reason based on discrimination of any kind.

(B) Cruel or inhuman treatment.— The act of a person who commits, or conspires or attempts to commit, an act intended to inflict severe or serious physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions), including serious physical abuse, upon another within his custody or control.”

For those who support torture, do they know that the information obtained during
torture can be inaccurate?  The people being tortured just saying what they think
the torturers want to hear so it will stop?  If we had a more informed public,
perhaps the poll numbers for those who support water-boarding would be lower. 
I understand people’s outrage, and that those who hurt the US should be
punished.  Torture is not the way to do it.  It is illegal by the Geneva Convention. 
It is not a condonable action by any standards. 
That the lawyers are not being tried or punished is an injustice.  That Obama will
not try Cheney, who has said that he ordered the water-boarding, for war crimes
is not right.  Is Obama not trying Cheney for political reasons?  Obama, you pretty
much do not have any support on the right, do you think this will affect it? 
Sometimes it is not about being elected again but doing what is right.  Of course,
one could argue that one wants to be re-elected to continue to do good.

Torture should not be supported.  All those who support torture, should allow themselves to be tortured for an experiment to find out how long it is before they will be glad to tell you anything to get the torture to stop.

Cheney says he is for torturing, therefore Cheney should be waterboarded, with the assistance of a heart monitor and devices to keep his evil heart pumping, until he tells us the truth about what happened on 9/11/01, because he knows way more than has been told.

If they advocated torture but in doing so did not break any law, then there are no laws against torture.  And what does that mean?  It means that anyone at any time for any reason may be tortured into confessing to doing something they did NOT do.
It means there are no effective laws against torture.
It means our laws are likely to sink at any moment down to the level of the Inquisition.  It means loss of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness at the hands of any vindictive person who takes power into his own hands simply because there is nothing to prevent him. It means we are not effectively a country of laws but of whims, antagonisms and out-of-control decision-making.

Hopefully the States will revoke their licenses.  A pat on the hand for traitorous behavior should not even be considered.

According to a recent poll, 58% of American voters support water-boarding of terrorism suspects to get information, and another 12% are “not sure”. This means 70% of Americans either support it or think it’s open to question.

Maybe investigations should be opened on 70% of the public?

This must be very disheartening to opponents of water-boarding, who appear to be out-of-step with most Americans:
