All of the talking heads that support something like torture do not actually support it; they support the idea of power that makes a President (or presidential candidate for that matter) say he would do anything for his country; and that appeals to neo-conservatives who have forgotten everything their party used to stand for.
I know, Vi, as I say this that it sounds untrue. They haven't forgotten it, because they vote for a republican party man that talks about small government; they just don't seem to give a shit that what he says is actually true.
Back to torture. What a sick human being it is that would immaturely write abuot a guy getting fire stuck up his ass; i personally don't find it very funny when I find out that my government sends people (not terrorists) to countries where their genitals are cut with razor blades beyond recognition without ever receiving beneficial information for it. That's something a regime like Saddam Hussein would have done, a regime worthy of REGIME CHANGE, right!?! You do-gooder lying hypocrit fucks!!!
There is no justification for that. Even in the case Vi described, torture is not even justifiable. It's sort of a last resort that everyone wants to hear their leaders talk about because they think having a bad human rights record makes you safer. Read anything about what real CIA people write about the benefits of torture, and you'll see it just like I do: unnecessary cruelty which degrades the reputation of the US with the world.
