i would like to first say that i too was a soldier, sevred in iraq with the 3rd I.D. and i too have been against this war from the start. but i also realize we just cant up and leave.

but the whole torture issue is a very sticky issue. i dont beleive in torture myself but torture is just like terrorism in the fact that its all in perspective. some will argue that waterboarding is not torture because it does not cause the loss of life or limb does not cause an undue amount of pain or permant physical damage. but others will argue that it is torture because of the mental stress cause by the action.

i think that yes if you torture or give the order to torture then yes you should be prosecuted but first we have to define what is and what is not torture.

so here is a challange for you all: define torture and what is acceptable means of interogation.
