    I'm sure that it is aweful, I'm not contesting that - I just don't believe it is as cut and "dry" as people are making it. It rides the line. Almsot all of the other stuff listed is nonsense. Next thing you know you'll want to make shooting the enemy illegal because a gut shot or serious wound could take hours to die from or suffer through.

    Repetetive, however could be the clincher. Water board someone for hours and you've got yourself a case. Doesn't real torture usually have a mortality rate significantly higher than merely talking to someone just because of overdoing it and mistakes?

    You asked for opinions, here they are.

    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
