Can I be a judge?

Or maybe we can get back to the topic of the Senate....and torturing terrorists, maybe?


Oh, how was the 'misu?

See, what I don't get is how this is "torture for terrorists". This is "torture for whoever the government decides to torture".

If it was "torture for terrorists", there wouldn't be a problem with reasonable judicial review of the "terrorist" status of the person in question.

I'm sure if you worship the president of the USA, or have arbitrary Faith that he can Do No Wrong, clearly anyone He Chooses to Torture must be Deserving of their Fate. And it would Never be Abused by such a Great Man.

But that still doesn't make it "torture for terrorists".
