Go read Richard Fernandez, and then come back without the snark.

We could go walking. We’ll call it the Bataan Death March. It’s not as fun as it sounds. So, I hear.

All are criminal though. And if penalties are assessed they should fit the offense.

They are basically talking in a way that the left does an awful lot. Which is to an unreal extreme that is not relevant or practical to the conversation except to those too ignorant or unthinking who don’t get it and know that’s the sign for them to get together and chant the same wrong tune.

You misunderstand. I was juxtaposing what we actually did, which was nothing, with actual instances of actual torture.

Your sarcasm chip is malfunctioning, droid.

I am sardonic on the web as in life…..

I’ve served this nation whether it wanted it or not for 18 years….. Mostly, not.

Thank you, expat.

“Hah ha.

If it weren’t for those pesky conventions”

Very true. One more reason for our enemies to fight by the rules themselves… which would include not targeting civilians… because otherwise, they might end up being interrogated and it’s not always pretty….

It can’t be like the show trials in dictatorships because it isn’t taking place in a dictatorship.

come again? how does that work..

so ballet in russia is not the same as ballet in america because one is a totalitarian state and the other is a democratic republic?

it too can be the same because the crucial point is the rule of law, and the rule of law is not arbitrary and based on whatever you want, thats rule by king, dictator, etc.

so if the dictator says make up a law to put them in jail for what they did yesterday that was legal, its not the same if obama does it?

what critical part is missing that makes it different and not the same?
