so what about the american media portraying all jihadists and "insurgents" (i quoted that because its a made-up word seeking to demonise...kinda like marijuana) as freedom-hating extremists? You dont think POSSIBLY just a few...hundred of them are scared of american imperialism and are fighting to protect their home? Also, i say if there was no torture then there would be no fuel to add to al-jazeera's fire.

I will never excuse that type of behaviour..even the enemy doesn't deserve such..even tho they have commited far worse and continue to do so-on a daily basis.

You already have excused that type of behaviour. Abu ghraib? hello? torture? hello? debates on mainstream media about whether or not torture is okay? hello? i havnt seen a single post of yours proclaiming your disgust about random people being victimised.

Why is it-that you excuse the atrocities,committed on a daily basis,by the enemy ? Why is it-that you excuse them from cold-blooded murder,rape and torture ? Because of yer hatred for Bush and America ?

i DONT excuse torture...on anybodys part. im very adamant about americans and canadians torturing the "enemy" because i know how easily things come back around to haunt people. You honestly think that america will never be privy to captured soldiers? foreign invasion? you're a damn fool (respectively speaking of course). You think they behead people on videotape just for kicks (a splendid manipulation by the way)?

Have a good one ...

Torog, you can't justify torture while proclaiming to love freedom. Its an oxymoron of sorts.
