Then why don't we take reasonable measures to find out what we need to find out to stop these mass murderers! Sure... I got nothing against that. ..... The moral high ground includes and excludes many things, but one thing it includes is putting the well being of innocents ahead of the rights of mass murderers! Does this have anything to do with the issue at hand (tortureof prisoners)? The main point that you (and Dave, and other pro-torture people) have failed to make is that using torture actually accomplishes anything at all to prevent terrorists. Instead, you blame -us- for failing to use torture.... sorry, but terrorism is not my fault. You can take responsibility yourself if you like. But you can't just change the laws of our nation to suit your own moral perceptions (just like I can't). Furthermore, a group of people who -were- in a position to change the laws of our nation (or, more accurately, temporarily change a few and ignore a lot of others) agree with your moral perceptions.... specifically, that torturing prisoners is OK... and they don't really seem to have gotten such great results.
