...but it is true, and the fact that you think it isnt only proves that no one should take any of your veiws seriously.
Whether you choose to take me seriously is your prerogative. I don't really care.
You can shout "TORTURE WORKS!" from the rooftops all you like, but until you start providing evidence and arguing in a reasonable way, reasonable people shouldn't take you seriously.
Personally, I don't give a rat's ass if torture works. Torture is wrong. Period. End of conversation. If you believe that torture is permissible, than that is only evidence of your own moral failures.
I believe that principle means something. Many on the right apparently believe that principle is simply what you tell people you believe in, while doing whatever you feel like behind their backs. This country is a greater country than that, and will not suffer such a travesty for long.
America is better than this.
You are welcome to think that torture is an immoral act, and i wouldnt fault you for it, but you i wont let you get away with saying that torture doesnt work, because thats a ridiculous claim and absolutely naive. If you think torture doesnt work, its because you simply dont understand how its used. You dont like the fact that it works because it destroys your little fantasy world where you believe peace freaks are enlightened while everyone else is ignorant, and "immoral acts" can never have a positive impact or work in any way.
