don't be an idiot.
If it's ok for us to torture, why isn't it ok for them to torture?
Us good, them bad?
This poll is stupid.
No it isn't, Gunny.
In fact this turnabout is fair play poll is one of the more intelligent posts that DavidS has penned in some time.
Supporters of torture like to use the example of torture to save lifes as a MORAL justification for allowing torture.
DavidS asks us to put our MORALS to the test to see if our concept of torture as being moral is entirely hypocritical.
Are supporters of America's right to torture (to save American lives) willing to acknowledge that if it's moral for America to torture, it is moral for our enemies to torture our people (to save their people's lives)?
This IS an important question.
Assume that the USA gets into a war and uses torture.
And so does the enemy.
Now assume we win the war.
Do we have the high moral ground to take their torturing leadership to trial for torturing our people, if we were torturing their people?
