There is no evidence that the use of torture in investigations has yielded any useful information or saved any lives. But I have heard that action taken on bad intelligence obtained by torture has led to the loss of life as our troops were sent into traps.

Isn't saying I should be for torture to save my family just another fear tactic. Wasn't that the way Bush sold the Iraq War - Saddam has his finger on the nuclear trigger,- blah, blah, blah.

Every knows the Arab terrorists are as bad as any other terrorists. I'm not making excuses for them, but I'm not interested in emulating them. I was embarrassed by our policies under Bush, evidently most Americans feel the same way.

Calling people "huggers" just shows the contempt you have for people who don't share your views.
