I could write out a long eloquent response to this, but I'd rather keep it short and sweet.
My mother always told me, as I'm sure yours must have, that two wrongs don't make a right. Its a very simple concept to understand. If someone does something detestable, it doesn't give you an excuse to do something awful as well. While the actions of these men are certainly reprehensible, we shouldn't stoop to their level. America was founded with the idea of being a "city on a hill" and this sort of action is below us.
...Not to mention, that if we are going to advocate torture for some barbaric reason, the least we can do is be open about it and not destroy pertinent evidence. For shame. |
Like I said....it's not anywhere near the same level of treatment. We did NOT stoop to their level. This harsh treatment to make them talk lasted mere seconds. I heard that KSM lasted the longest before he signaled he wanted to talk....and that was 2 1/2 minutes. It's not a "wrong," IMHO. It got the needed results that saved many innocent lives.
