    What names? I called that stance as I clearly defined as cheapening that argument which they wish to make.

    But they call for it in reference to the protection of life under the law. Abandoning the need for legal code in a cry against torture makes any moral high ground illegitimate imo. Saying no to torture in the absolute without discussions in an unmocking display does not further anything. Why would you not want this all to be moved under a legal house.

    Of course there are, but they don't ignore the need for law. In fact most that I know argue the illegality of almost any violent action.

    I believe I have. Going so far as to explicitly state such.

    "There is a true glory and a true honor; the glory in duty done and the honor in the integrity of principle."

    "The truth is this; the march of Providence so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often only see the ebb of the advancing wave. It is history which teaches us to hope."
