First, in regards to the OP, yeah... it's a pretty ugly situation. I think inBOIL pretty much nailed the top 3 reasons Americans allow it so easily to happen, though. Frankly, I think that torture does not have a place in modern society. I DO, however, believe that imprisonment does, maybe detaining folks outside of normal jurisdiction. Not indefinitely, but for an extended period in an effort to gather intelligence.
Second, wtf is with the recent staff attack on Will? I'm starting to sense some serious Gestapo overtones around here, especially in the Politics board. I'd really like a somewhat fuller explanation because I'm honestly shocked and appalled by the way things have been falling on this situation. Not that I've donated a LOT of money, but having donated money to the TFP, having been a fairly active member for some time and having brought in several referrals, I'd like to know wtf is going on. Anybody?
