(Just trying to steer this thread back to the point; I'm really tired of talking about Bush's lies for war)

The article says torture isn't as widespread as the media would have you believe, but O'Lielly forgot to mention the countless "detainees" that are sent to places like Egypt where torture is legal and very well-practiced. Wonder how that didn't make it into the piece?

The bastard also rather conveniently forgot that when he was White House Counsel, Attorney General Gonzales justified the use of torture as a means to get information out of "enemy combatants." If the cases of torture are overblown and only being committed at the direction of low-ranking troops, why is advice on torture being given at the highest level?

And lastly, not only is torture not an effective means to interrogate prisoners (any psychiatrist will tell you that a person will say anything to give them relief of extreme duress, even, gasp, lie), it's highly dangerous for American troops abroad. Torture is outlawed by the Geneva Convention because the only way a nation can try to influence how its troops are treated by the enemy is if they treat their own prisoners fairly. Why doesn't Patriot Bill "Felafel" O'Reilly express his outrage over that? Certainly any conservative worth his salt would be livid over anything that could cause harm to our military.

But no, it's the big, bad liberal media's fault. I don't get it.

What the hell is wrong with people that think this way? Since when did it become more of a sin to report a crime than to commit the damn thing?

And f*ck anybody who says that's "hurting America" or "being unpatriotic." That's the most insidious bullshit thinkable. Standing around while people trample the Constitution and international law (the ones that protect us too) is the real treason.
Howdy bhall,

The Geneva Convention,only applies to combatants wearing a uniform..not terrorists running around in civilian clothes and not a member of any armed forces.

So..now that we've eliminated the Geneva protections..why is it that you don't believe that terrorists should be tortured ? It takes only one terrorist,to detonate a wmd..it therefore behooves us,to use torture because of the need to stop a terrorist's plan in it's initial stages,because just one terrorist,can murder a million people..it only took 19 of em,to murder over 3000 people,on 9/11/01.

It seems to me,that no matter if it's a murderer,child molester,rapist or terrorist,y'all liberals are always more worried about their rights,than the rights of their victims...can you explain why that's so ?

You already have your freedom..why is it that you deny others,their freedom ? Why do you feel that it's wrong to liberate others from oppression ?

In the eyes of the terrorists,you are helping their cause and I'm sure that they are grateful for that too. In my eye's,you are aiding and abetting the enemy..and that makes you treasonous.

Have a good one...
