Torture Debate Is Ridiculous
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy." - BOOK OF MATTHEW
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. - CONSTITUTION
It is ridiculous that whether torture is proper or not is even being debated in America, today, since the answer is very obviously "no." It is time to tell apologists for torture that their position is beyond the pale and crosses a red line in respect to morality and the law of the land, and it does not matter whether this descent into the fringes of Hell can extract information that is wanted. Discussion closed - now please start the prosecutions, Mr. Holder.
