What I would like to know is that the "studies" that say it may not be effective actually were done? Do they take out ads in The Bagdad News asking for volunteers? "If you are a terrorist and would like to make a few extra dollars without killing anyone, please stop by the U of Iraq and take part in our torture seminar"?

See,you've allowed yourself to go right on by the 1st question(do we ever have the right to treat them like we own them.)Can you answer this please.

Two seperate things...one doesn't equal the other. Slavery was owning without an endgame.

You have demonstrated Machiavellian tendencies over n' over again.I wouldn't expect this to change.

Well,I am never going to agree to go fishing for information by way of torture.I am not interested in the quality of the information(it will be a very mixed bag.).That is not the point.The point is that they aren't there for us to experiment with.They are there to keep them away from innocent people.

Calm.

No of course we dont own them.
And this is not an experiment.
We are attempting to save Innocent
peoples lives in my scenario. thats why I
want it only used in the most dire situations
as I gave. If you are honest, you keep
the right to use it. We could of course just
lie and resort to it anyway; might never have to.

Night.
Lost an hour.

For what it's worth, we're very close. I don't want to go on the fishing trip either, but to out and out ban "that"...I can't do it

Machiavellian was a very nice sire and I'm glad that you honored me with such a nice label

Yes,but what does this gem have to do with us torturing our prisoners?We certainly don't want to act like that scum did.It wouldn't have been excessive to turn that island into glass,but we didn't do it.

I don't see it as giving something up.I see it as not allowing abuse.BTW,we would be much better off if we took a strong stand on this,and didn't look luke warm about it.I would think after Abu Garab,we would want to give off a much different message than this.

What amazingly valuable and important information do you believe this would provide? (other than what pictures he's using for blackmail)
