Otherwise why not just randomly arrest people living in the US including American citizens and torture them. I will bet that we will be able to stop a lots of terrorist conspirations, murders, robberies, white collar crimes etc...and we will be truly safe from terrorism and reduce the rate of shootings, rape that is plaguing our society. My kids and your kids will be much safer. This is obviously absurd! It will never happen! By the way I am no liberal and agree with a lot of what you have written. Of course we must defend ourselves at all cost. However the threat from Islamists isn't real, it does not exist, as a matter of fact it has not existed since 800 AD. The truth is that our government has lowered itself and made a bunch of lunatic cave dwellers into a respectable enemy. The monsters that are responsible for 911 have neither have a voice nor followers in any Islamic country. They have no army, no logistics, they are hated by most other Muslims. What do we do! We go attack countries that are neither implicated nor a threat, we threaten to attack others, we torture mainly innocent people in Iraq and few Iraqi fighting the occupation of their country, we kidnap people from Europe and around the world who turn out to be overwhelmingly innocents and have them tortured. In Guantanamo they were over 700 inmates, more than 450 were released after 5 years incarceration with no charges and among the remaining, no one has been charged as of today! This government lies around the clock to the American people. We have cheered while our bulldog ally in the middle-East (who our former President Carter called Apartheid) bombed and killed innocent people in Lebanon and still does it on a daily basis in the occupied territories with arms supplied by us. So these “ticking time bombs”, we are hard at work making them. We are needlessly making enemies all over the world and among the Muslims who should be our allies. The degenerate extremists who probably do not number more than a hundred are laughing at our stupidity and want us to go after the 1 billion plus Muslims so they can exact a bloody toll on us. We need to be strong and sometimes even bloodthirsty but in this case all we really need is some “smart and cunning” to defend ourselves and our interests. Our conduct make us laughable in the eyes of the world. No I ain't giving my blessing to torture. Sent at: 2008 07 06
