Torture isn't usefull was a method of extracting information, therefore you must support it because...why? Do you hate Arabs for some reason? Are you anti-muslim? I honestly don't get it. Is this a vengence thing (i.e. how dare you fight us when we invade your country!)? Is it a power thing? Please, elighten me.
