That's the problem with people like BOA. He selectively ignores some
things if it doesn't serve his argument.

The trouble with "people like Luddite" is they can't help dragging
partisan politics into a subject titled "Torturing SOB's."

There is plenty of debate going on about the release of this report and
it's not limited to the right-leaning media outlets. Even MSNBC has
raised some questions regarding the motivations of Feinstien and her
committee. The committee never bothered interviewing any of the people
who were actually involved in the interrogation program as research for
the report. It started as a conclusion which then had to be justified
with selectively chosen accusations and facts. You are correct. Many
of the same people were chastising the CIA for not doing enough shortly
after 9/11.

Finger pointing and evading responsibility. That's all.

You just evade the point of my post, which is that U.S. Government
engaged in widespread torture.
Maybe you don't believe it happened. Or maybe you think it's okay.
But you want to get into political ****-slinging.
I don't. Sorry about that.
You can argue politics with Scotty. Go right ahead.

We used to be able to claim the high moral ground because even in
warfare, we supposedly did not engage in war-making on civilians to the
extent our "enemies" did. World War II put that claim to death, of
course, with our massive bombings of mostly civilian parts of cities in
Germany and Japan, and the horrors we perpetrated on Vietnamese civilians.

Yeah, we should have left Hitler and Tojo just have their way.

What a f'ing joke, Toad.

As usual, you just don't get the point. The point is, if your enemy
engages in war against non-combatant civilians and you do, too, then
you've lost your claim to the high moral ground.

That the Japanese and the Germans killed millions of innocent people
didn't make it "ok" for us to firebomb civilian areas. Operation
Meetinghouse, for example, supposedly killed more than 100,000 civilian
Japanese, and many believe the death toll was much higher.

The only time you give a **** about 'high moral ground' is when it's
occupation may harm this country.

F'ing joke, Toad. Face it.
