MUST WE SACRIFICE EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO WIN?
A short time ago, I posed this question: Why does Bush believe that torturing prisoners will win the war on terror?
And the answers I got were stunning. So I turned what I had into a generic poll:
80% believes the United Statess must torture prisoners no matter what.
20% says the United States must not stoop to the same level as the enemy.
So if we can torture prisoners, does this mean that other countries can do the same to us in return--without any backlash?
What does this mentality say about our morals and values as a nation? What does this say about America as a democratic and free nation?
It says that we can now torture prisoners.
The Constitution and the Supreme Court? Who needs them! We can torture!
