If we are to listen to the rhetoric on the news we see that the civilized world does not have the stomach for torture? Yet at the same time we watch the cutting off of heads of civilians? These are not soldiers of an Army, these are International Terrorists who hold civilization for ransom using murderer on the innocent; they are sub-human. Why is torture inappropriate? Some say it is ineffective, but how would they know that?

How on Earth can anyone say "Torturing" does not work in getting Intel? Of course it works, as long as you do it right and have the resources to follow up on the leads, so that cannot be debated. What can be debated is; if a Democracy could ever agree to it or not. Obviously ours cannot, but that does not mean that torture will not yield good intelligence or that torturing doesn't work. We obviously do not have the stomach to deal with the reality of the situation judging by this cross-section of media stories. Likewise just because a group on a website, in the media proclaim that torturing is wrong or doesn't work, does not mean they are right or very good understanders of human nature.

Be careful what you believe when you watch TV and be careful on personifying these murderous International Sub-Human Terrorists as humans. They kill and take pleasure in it. They kill innocent people for some radical insane view of the world. The only way to deal with them, well, let's just say it would not include giving them cake and cookies and telling them that they need a "time out" for minute to think about it. We are going to have to come to terms with the reality of what we are dealing with and stop listening to those who want us to appease this element. All moderate Muslims, need to take a stand now and get these folks to stop, other wise Torture will be the least of our worries.
