Well my new position, which Scott helped me form yesterday, is you should feel free to do what you think is necessary to protect the country. Personally I side with the founders who found torture so abhorrent they were willing to lose wars rather than justify it with law. Thus what feel is necessary to protect the country is first a set of moral principles that we shall defend and shall not cross except under penalty of prosecution. Thus torture shall be considered illegal and punishable by death. If a soldier feels that torture is the only way to protect his country, then he should partake in it knowing it will mean his public prosecution and execution. And there should be no shame in that if he feels his actions protected his country. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:296060 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
