Ever consider running for political office? As Bush may have put it, "You're a shoe-in!"

More crap.

You don't begin to understand what I'm trying to say. Does it strike you as curious that those who use the most brutal means of torture, such as in the AQ materials, are the weakest, the least powerful, therefor the most desperate? I say it's their barbaric nature that keeps them weak. It keeps them in a state of semi-savage anger. They and their cronies don't really have much of a chance to advance beyond their ignorant state while embracing such attitudes.

Do you really think that we should adopt their methods? That those of us who carry out those methods won't be stained and diminished by the doing of it? We have plenty of vets coming home now with that stain on their souls and the results so far, not often discussed, aren't looking too good.

Courage in battle is to be admired. Abusing people under your power, people in custody, is not courageous in any way.
