We're willing to sacricice the lives of little kids, on the altar of some "moral high ground" that serves no purpose except to make things easier for the wolves? In my mind, it would be immoral not to torture someone who was planning such an attack, and if the attack is imminent, i'd go a hell of alot further than waterboarding, and I'd sleep like a baby after (after talking with my priest first).
I don't get it. I shoud have been alive in the 1950s, I can't say I like the look of things...the cops are the enemy, and cop killers like Abu Mumia Jamal get honored to speak at college graduations. And 99% of our college professors who teach our kids, have no quarrel with that. That's super.

I guess. But when th etruth i sliterally right there, in th eform of fellow Americans jumping out windows of the world trade center, how does one not conclude that pouring water up someone's knows (with a medical team present) is necessary?
There is no moral equivalence, none at all, between the terrorists attempt to incinerate innocent civilians, and our attempts to do horrible things to try to save innocent lives. we are not motivated by blood lust - they are. we are motivated (at least we should be for Christ's sake) to protect the innocent. |

I still have yet to see anyone try to claim parity between our actions and those who committed 9/11. |
