We Don't Torture...That is Unless We Do...Oh Yeah, We Actually Do Torture!!
Posted by Melina | 5:01 PM
The concept of these assholes meeting to set the standard on torture is mind boggling. Who in that group has their doctorate in psychology and can speak to the truths told under certain physical stress? Who in that group even has the moral compass to make the decision for us in this matter, because what we do now is gonna effect us in the long run; especially if there is a draft that takes our kids and family members into a world that knows no Geneva Convention.

Its gonna be your kids and my kids who grow up in a world in which the likes of Condi Rice has decided how much to torture someone...and we know that TORTURE DOESN'T WORK! Not if you want reliable information. Torture works to force people to confess things they didn't do, to force them to renounce their country, and to force them to make up information in order to stop the torture. So, while our forces are tracking down those false leads, what else is going on that might have been extracted using other psychological and intelligence based tactics that actually work!
John Stewart jokes about this, but it is no joke...We all laugh because if we didn't laugh we would be crying. But, he delivers a very serious message within that funny. McCain will be the continuation of this policy, through the haze of aPTSD flashback brought about by the grotesque reality of the tactics and some sort of reality break/cognitive dissonance. We have to be very, very clear as we watch our two possible candidates try to ruineachother and the party while they're at it, that its gonna be our kids who grow up in a world where we torture and we get tortured back.
Rock on, Jon...maybe someone out there will hear you....
