I actually think you should!
Anyway, meh, who cares about legality, calling it "torture" or ""harsh interrogation technique", doesn't matter.
It's not like America is running around grabbing people, strapping them to a board and using "waterboarding" to extract information.
You want torture? Look to history, to the racks, burning at the stake, quartering, disembowlement, a father who had no other choice but try and jump to his death from the World Trade Center(s) in the hope of survival.
Is it pretty? No. Is it necessary? Maybe. Society may have become more "advanced" in their abilities, but the end result remains the same.
Tell us what you know, tell us who else is helping you. Because we will end this, whether it's with arrowheads attached to spears, burning your crops, stealing your women, inflitrating your government, dropping a nuke on you, whatever it takes, we will end this.
We can't respect everyones rights when the perception of the rights changes or is challenged.
We are civilized.
We are advanced?
We still have to protect. At any cost.
How much blood has been spilt, from the Revolutionary War to today, to secure the way of life this Country enjoys. Millions? Hundreds of thousands? One is one too many. They died, we live. They sacrificed, we enjoy.
Waterboard? Do it. Give me a break. Do it. Do whatever needs to be done so all those who have died, sacrificed life and limb, given their only sons (or daughters) to protect and defend this Country, that their death is not forgotten, is not remembered.
Would YOU die to protect the American way of life?
