The Dreaded I Word

[Lemur]

Dave, I have zero sympathy for the terrorists. If they were all dropped into a meat grinder, I would dance a little happy dance. I am far more concerned with us, as in the U.S. I don't like to see us (a) lose the moral high ground, and (b) alter our military and governmental structure to accommodate torture. The gains are minimal and the costs will be long-term.

If you've any real interest in the subject, you might want to read an account written by a guy who served at Abu Ghraib.
