Drum roll please....Windspike's Wacky Weekend Query........
Even if we found proof (which is debatable this exists) that torturing "detainees" led to information that stopped some kind of "terrorist" plot, did/do the ends justify the means? Explain.
As a bonus follow up question, do you think those who authorized the use of water boarding and other torture techniques should be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law?

A man is ruined on the side of his natural tendencies1) [If] torturing "detainees" led to information that stopped some kind of "terrorist" plot, did/do the ends justify the means?Thousands of 'plots' are hatched annually in college dorm rooms across the USA. 'Plots' are how people think about solving problems, real or imaginary. Torturing college students would be a) good practice for interrogators, and b) it would bring the problem home.
2) [Should] those who authorized the use of water boarding and other torture techniques should be prosecuted?Who? those who 'authorized' torture? or those who merely provided legal cover for it? The latter couldn't help themselves any more than a puppy who wets on the floor, it's what bad lawyers do. Good lawyers keep their clients out of trouble, not help them into it.
1) Nope. I believe torture is more likely to produce bad results.
2) Yup. Prosecute war criminals, or lose credibility as a nation that stands for "justice for all".
we already lost creditibilty no thanks to the democrats who were for it then decided to share to the world that now they are against it.
You know like they share all of our secrets .
Thanks Pelosi and Co. for helpiing us become weaker. And kudos to Soros for getting his agenda through with all his money.
