The Truth About Torture

The left hates Bush more than they defend the innocent. We cannot win a political correct war, what the left wants for all things - sameness, at the expense of truth, freedom, not the protection of only innocent Americans.

Now, even Bush hatred - and the left's confused priority of political correctness at any cost - is making it easier for those who wish to murder us to accomplish it.

Liberalism (progressiveism - whatever you on the left want to call it) does not lead to the greater good, does not lead to more truth, does not lead to better values, it only lead to the opposite. Only, your hatred for our own matter more than the defense and safety and even survival of our own.

The left hates Bush for ???torture???, and of course never mind the fact that thousands of innocent lives were saved once those plots were stopped; that does not matter, only opposition to Bush at every cost matters. And never a complaint about their own party.

To the left, you leave behind very little to be proud of. But al qaeda and radical islam certainly thanks you.

Bull $#!+, Can all criminals come forward, discuss thier crimes and be exonerated?
If not then no one else is above the LAW!

This article is a disgrace to America and everything it stands for. By your very words, you are a traitor to the constitution and the country, sir. You act like it's a big f'ing surprise that the Constitution exists, or the Geneva Convention, or just basic goddamn principles of Americanism and human decency. Oopsie! Sorry, didn't know I wasn't supposed to TORTURE PEOPLE! My mistake.

On the Last Day, Mr. Taylor, how will you answer for this? May the Lord judge you harshly.

One of the most disgracefully un-American things I've read in a long time. So much for that "nation of laws, not of men" stuff. Oh, well. It was fun while it lasted.

Shame on Stuart Taylor Jr.
He endangers every soldier, sailor, or marine who ever is captured in the future.
More importantly, torture is about us. We are the ones who control, and are responsible for our government's actions.
Torture was, is, and continues to be a war crime. The fact the president was able to find some shills with law degrees to "authorize" an enhanced interrogation techniques does in NO WAY immunize him from prosecution for his crimes.

Shame on this Stuart Taylor Jr. How does he look in the mirror? There is something missing in his moral development. He needs help; not a voice at Newsweek.

This president had another press conference today and made faces at practically all of the questions, as if he were in the presence of undesirables. His facial expressions and his answers showed his disdain for anyone who dares to ask him a question about our government, as if it is his private domain and none of our business. All of his answers to questions asked to elicit facts are immediately argumentative instead of informative. This man doesn't even understand the basics of his duty. He is our servant by law, not our ruler, and he owes us answers to the questions which are asked of him. We will be rid of him in a few months. I am a little apprehensive about the successor candidate of his party, and hopeful that the angered responses that he gives to the press will not lead us down this same narrowing path, the end of which seems to be to ignore the press and the public's right to know. We need to be very careful who we let into this office. Too many duds and even the United States of America, in all of its grandeur, could fall from sheer incompetence in its highest office if this happens too many times in a row. Vote smart.

This president, who claims to think so much of our military people, suspends the rules of the Geneva Convention for temporary convenience. He has no vision at all of how he has also thereby suspended the rules of the Geneva Convention for our troops in future wars and condemned our military people in those wars to torture for the convenience of those who will refer to his precedent in abolishing these rules.
The principle of reciprocity is a little too complicated for his simplistic "play cowboy" mind, what little of it that he possesses. It is doubtful that he could rope a calf, or know what to do with it if he did, being only a celluloid president anyway. How poorly we have been served by those who thrust this inadequate man into that high office, way beyond his reach. Come home, troops. Come home.

So, is this our legacy from Nurmeberg? We prosecute others for War Crimes, but not ourselves?

That will lead to convincing diplomacy....

Saddam was hanged for ordering execution of 140 Shias who tried to kill him. Sudan's president is wanted "war criminal" for putting down a revolt brutally.

Bush told press that Saddam was the man who tried to kill his daddy. Perhaps killing of all those Iraqis can be considered "execution" of the people who tried to kill his daddy.

In Falujah US troops opened fire on unarmed protesters killing 17 of them. Which started an uprising which was brutally put down. Actually most of the war since then can be called quashing a rebellion.

The difference is that we have spin doctors like this author to pardon whateve US does. Learn from mistakes.. hmm isn't that what was said after world war II about Japanese encampments ? Isn't that was said about Holocaust - yet we had Gitmo and Bosnian war !
