Sorry but I'm for whatever it takes to get information. These Terrorists thrive on torture in their own Countries they live to spread Terror. What about our POW's do you think they were offered warm beds & tea to drink.No they're not. I didn't sign this letter BTW

Ok blah, blah, blah Catherine. An eye for an eye is it? That way of thinking is destructive & perpetuates a cycle of violence in the world.

Noted and signed! I think torture certainly is not a way to get reliable information. Some people will tell you anything you want to hear just to make the pain go away.
