There are things that are done in this life that are not pleasant. There are things that I am not able to or willing to do myself. This is when other people who can do or will do those things come into play for me. This can be as low as cleaning my house to collecting garbage to finding out information about insurgents and terrorists. Having had an uncle who was tortured, drained of precious blood to give to ailing Japanese, and then beheaded during WWII, I'm all for it being used as the tool that it is.
I'd like to minimize it as much as possible, and I'd like to target those that fit the profile. I'd like to believe that it is not used against innocents, but I am not naive to think that it has not happened in the past and will not happen in the future.
I'd vote if I could, I find it is torture and a legal thing to do, not a choice I have up there. And the second one, I don't care if Bush knew or didn't know.

This is how I feel about it as well. |
