I think every know it all democwat who screams "torture dosen't work" should have the balls to step up and be waterboarded and prove to us they are right and we are wrong..
It is amazing how so many rabid rightwingers, when forced to choose between right and wrong,
make the WRONG choice:.
they have resorted to defending blatantly obviously illegal activities, in this case - torture.
It shows how low they've fallen so far away from what their pastors and their parents and their elementary school civics/social studies classes taught them,
how distorted and desperate and twisted and UnAmerican they have become -
and it drops them another notch, everytime they do it.
Supporting illegal torture. Defending those who directed our troops to torture detainees,
and ferociously attacking, like a deranged junkyard dog, any and all who object to illegal torture.
Think about it.
Is Rape next on the list to be defended ? Murder ? Robbery ? Embezzlement ?
"Those Dumb ass democwats who say raping prisoners is bad....what if a bomb was planted in your house and brutally raping a detainee was the only way to ........"
It has become bizarre, surreal.
It is especially clear that those defending torture the loudest and the hardest are far right chickenhawks who never served their country, never put on a uniform or picked up a weapon to fight for American ideals, never ONCE swore an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution of the USA
against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
If they did, their defense of illegal torture and officials who knowingly, willingly, ILLEGALLY authorized torture
has broken that sacred oath.
Those who defend torture the strongest are those who have absolutely lost their connection to
what is right and what is wrong.
It shows, like it was up in neon lights, it shows.

The United States Military Oath of Allegiance is taken by members of the United States Armed Services on commissioning. It differs slightly from that of the oath of enlistment that enlisted members recite when they enter the service.

So help me God.
The Oath of Enlistment into the United States Armed Forces is performed upon any person enlisting or re-enlisting for a term of service into any branch of the military.
