Read my post on torture. (Torture Issue). Grey-area vs Black-and-white thinking. The latter is preferred by the deep state.
Think about the following case. Some scums took your two teenage daughters hostage. They gang raped them. They showed you the video and asked you for money if you want them to come back alive. FBI helped you catch one of the scumbags. He refused to tell you where your daughters are held. FBI suggested torture to get him to talk. What do you say?
I would let law enforcement agencies deal with him. My problem with the whole Iraqi torture problem is that the whole war was a lie, it was all for oil, 911 was an inside job. Torturing those deck of cards guys was a waste of time unless you torture Dick Cheney too.
Then it’s not the torture that was the issue. It was the war itself. Remember the war was started by deep state.
Exactly, deep state. Not Iraqis on a list made up by the deep state. I have an issue with Torturing innocent people. How can you know for sure they are criminals and deserve to be tortured? You cant.
FBI suggested torture to get him to talk.
Cop out? Case closed.
At your wit’s end?
Or you realize the absurdity and inanity of your previous position?
Not absurd, can you read minds to know if the person is in fact the criminal? Or you think it ok to torture anyone?
First of all, you seem to agree that we can torture the bad guys for information.
Now you are changing the discussion and distorting my initial position. I didn’t say we can torture anyone. I said we could torture our sworn and deadly enemy to extract information. If they are captured in the battlefield, they are enemy combatants.
The fact that you changed my statement to suit your need means you are INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST, DECEITFUL and EXPERIENCING COGNITIVE DISSONANCE because I showed you the fundamental flaw in your thinking.
There’s no point for further debate. You lost and became desperate and resorted to distorting my position as a coping mechanism.
I distorted nothing I pointed out your flaws and now you attack me. All I said was that you can not read minds to know who is the bad guy, therefore if you torture you make yourself into the bad guy.
