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.

Did your Mother say anything to you about defending yourself? How many times would you stand by and watch your family members be attacked and killed...one by one.... before you acted? After all, we didn't start this war with the Islamic extremists. They've attacked us time and time again----WAY before we got smart and began defending ourselves by going on the offensive against them. Two important themes came out of the 911 Commission.....#1) they were at war with us, but we weren't with them, and #2) we failed to 'connect the dots.'
