#1 Arggg, the American people hold high moral standards, yet we send a JDAM into a building to kill a bad guy and then scream bloody murder when someone get a little water in the face. The slippery slope this guy speaks of slides both ways. If you want to call waterboarding torture, then you must look at what our local police departments do with questioning people for over eight hours not allowing them use of restrooms, or water. We're talking about scaring someone, not cutting their head off with a dull knife. It is silly to keep bringing this up, we need to let it go and get past this. For Gods sake we don't capture terrorists anymore because of this stuff, we kill them with 500 pound laser guided bombs.

Eliminated targets don't need Miranda rights and lawyers!

#2 Personally, I like the way the anonymous author ("Doctor Zero") put it, in the essay at: http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2009/08/25/the-ethics-of-ferocity/ :

"While liberals wave the Justice Departmentâs report on CIA interrogation techniques at the rest of the world and tearfully beg them for forgiveness, the rest of us are wondering why we donât reduce the deficit by selling the rights to these interrogations on pay-per-view. The contestants on your average Japanese game show go through more intense ordeals."

Simple, Lone Ranger.

Jihadis and liberals (but I repeat myself) are weenies. Nobody wants to watch a weenie.
