the rationalizations for american use of torture are no more than that. whether this will be an element in the ouster of the mayberry machiavellians from office remains to be seen--i hope it does. but i am amazed to read posts from conservatives that would seek to justify the american use of torture in iraq---i assume that if it was your kids who were being treated in this way, you would be among the first to scream.

And I assume that if YOUR kids were held hostage and beheaded by these animals YOU would be the first to scream?
