I'm pretty sure he didn't say we don't need checks. You just don't like the power when you think the holder is religious or something like that. > Do you mean nothing happened, or that it was just individuals and not "us"?

Water boarding isn't vigilante justice. We asked questions and got answers. It was only used on three people and it worked. At the time it wasn't considered torture. It's not like we went all Jack Baur on them. > I'm talking about putting, and keeping, that mentality in power. Your > brand of mentality.

It's like suicide by cop. remember the "Don't taze me bro" scam? We live in a youtube word, Some people know how to play it. > The terrorists deserved the > water-boarding.
