6. The mere fact that subject is even being discussed is abhorrent.
It should not be considered, it should not be debated, it should never have risen to the level of a bellicose defense by an idiot son at a White House press conference.

AFAIC, we have already lost the moral high ground completely, simply by not rising up as a nation in outrage that we would torture -- and it doesn't matter what the crime is -- that we would TORTURE people!

Wasn't Jesus tortured? Will bush add lashings and bearing heavy weights to his list of acceptable treatment? How about "pretending" someone is about to have a spike driven through their wrist or feet? Oh, hell, just go all the way and pound that spike in. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Torture is obscene and morally reprehensible to anyone with even one iota of a Christian conscience.
