I just can't believe the country that i always hear the goverment is incapable of running anything from is allowing torture, if you think goverment is at all untrustworthy the last thing you do is let them torture people (i wouldn't trust mother teresa to torture the right people let alone a goverment)

I don't like to invoke the slippery slope but if its good enough for terrorists why not serial killers, rapists, bank robbers ect...
