my problem with tourture is:
if we do it, how can we protect OUR POW from enduring the same fate?
Don't get emotional, people,
we don't OUR POW tourtured, don't we?

i dont agree with that completely.
it is just an assumption that a 3rd world country being attacked by the US is not going to use torture to extract information just because we dont. its already illegal under the Geneva Conventions and International Law, yet its done everyday all over the world... from simple police, to military to secret/special police or security organs. its done all over the world right now.. today. its done everyday by "friends" and "allies" of the US and certainly by its enemies.
American Citizens were tortured in Isreal, by Isreali police a little over 1 year ago.
