Here's a thought: now repugs have to 'justify' why torturing

[babylonsister]

is A-OK. That discussion could be interesting and has already started. I don't actually know how torture will be justified, so I'm all ears.

1. But its not torture

when WE do it. :sarcasm: :puke:

[Phredicles]

2. Naw, they're just asking "Freedom Questions".

I'll second your :puke:

3. I think limbaugh and the gang of chickenhawks at faux

should volunteer to spend a week "not being tortured" to show everyone how really easy it is. Waterboarding, forced standing, threats of death, freezing, no big deal to the manly badasses who make a living hiding behind microphones.

5. Frat pranks, don't you know?

Of course since none of them went to college, they don't know much about that either, do they? Speaking of which, I hear Fearless Leader thought it was simply a riot to brand Frat Pledges with a red hot coat hanger-haha...

7. The one thing those constitution enemies know

is that there is enough ignorance amongst the masses to keep them in a job for a long time. They couldn't make a living any other way.

4. Bush tells 'the sheep' it's us or them (hence torture)

Since 9/11 half of our population was whipped into a frenzy by Bush/Cheney to kill and torture the enemy, send your sons and daughters to battle the evil-doers. Well if half the population are atill in battle mode it may be difficult to explain to the 'sheep' that torturing is wrong?

We know that torturing is wrong

6. So far this has stopped every RWW in their tracks.

Why are you afraid to answer these questions?

1. Why do you want our government to torture people?

2. Do you not recognize that if we do that it gives carte blanche to others to do the same to our soldiers?

3, Why then do you want Americans to be tortured?

8. thats right, discussion should eb effectiveness of interrogation

The discussion should not be "what constitutes torture" but what interrogation methods are truly effetive. Cause if we really recognized torture we wouldn't be hurting innocent people, getting bad intelligence, pissign off the entire world and not opening up our soldires and civilians to indiscriminate retaliatory torture... Sounds simple to me but if there is one thing hte Republicans are good at, its having the wrong discussion.
