Infinity plus one equals? They already are full of hate for us. What is the difference?
And others will follow? Really? They following at this time? Anyone?
So how did the Soiux fare in the end?

Self fulfilling prophecy. Who is this "they" you speak of? One billion Muslims in the world. No Muslim has ever gotten in my face rudely. I'm sure some of the extremists would be happy to drain my blood, my point is they are a small minority. It behooves us to not increase their numbers.
In the case of Gitmo, about 80% of the detainees were sold to us for bounties of around $5,000. You know how much money that is in Pakistan?
I heard a speech by Ray McGovern the other day on Free Speech TV. He was career CIA and has a lot of contacts. He knows a guy who worked the night shift at Abu Gharib. Says one night they got ahold of a general. They're thinking, 'he's a general, he must know something.' Couldn't get him to break. They brought his 16 year old son in. The stripped him, hosed him with cold water, put him in the back of a pick up and drove him around Bagdad at night for a couple of hours and brought him back. The father broke. Too bad he didn't know anything.
What do you think the chances are that guy is going to be a friend of the American effort there??
On the 1/10th of one percent chance, if that, that we might learn some "actionable intelligence" (they get a hard-on when they talk like that) through torture, we set the stage for a 98% chance of making an enemy for life. And all the experts say torture doesn't work anyway.
GDed pea-brain lunacy. Thank you Uncle Dick.
